Midnight Souls

Midnight Souls, acrylic, Jean Hart 





Midnight Souls,

close your eyes, and turn off the lights, look out and see the twinkling stars. Your journey to the deep inside all awaits for you. Where do your Muses lives? Are they floating around you while you sleep? Talk to them, call them out, they wait to hear from you. Let them hold your hand and guide you. Follow their inspiration. Trust your wandering mind, watch how the sky is so active with hope, wishes, and dreams.

Be Inspired,

Jean Hart

Be kind, Be caring, Be compassionate to yourself

Be kind, Be caring, Be compassionate to yourself 

"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive.." 

Maya Angelou

If you find yourself just a little stuck, and need a little help. 

ASK for help.

There is no harm in asking for help.

If they so no it's not the end of your idea.

It's the beginning of being true to yourself. 

Don't rely to heavily on others.

You are an able person.

By the beautiful sea

Summer, Jean Hart 

The ocean in Summer, the ocean in Spring, the ocean in Winter or maybe even in Fall.

It doesn't matter when you go to the ocean.  Just being near the water is good for your health.

Here's a little article that explains why you should go to the ocean.

The Tomato Bowl

Jean Hart Artwork 

Drawing What You See

Drawing is an interesting practice.

We all see things differently.

If I were to put a bowl of tomatoes on a table and ask ten people to drawing what they saw.

The bowl, the tomatoes, the table would all be different. 

WHY is that. 

It's because we all have a stylized ideas of what every object we see looks like. 

We are drawing from our minds and not from our eyes. 

I think that's FANTASTIC!!

That's would make your work original.

Artist Tip! 

"Throughout the drawing and painting process, hold up your work in front of a mirror. This can help you see and correct inaccuracies in the proportion. "The Daily Book of ART 

Just get started.

Small things, big difference

Emerge II

Jean Hart 

I often wonder how I can make a differnece in the world. 

It seems like such a big question.

I found a wonderful blog about just that.

"Being the change I want to see"...

It's not about taking on the world but making little choices each day in your own life.

All the small choices you make each day will then add up to the big, 

"Change."

 Here is the blog that will give you some ideas of where to start.

Even if all you can do is one thing on this list, 

Thats FANTASTIC!!!

https://www.ronitbaras.com/family-matters/kids-children/55-ways-to-save-the-environment-and-make-a-difference/

As parents, I believe we have the responsibility to teach our kids to care for our world. And it is easier than most people think. Here are some tips to make a difference.

1. Take your family to the park and talk to them about the joy of being in green, clean, preserved places.
2. When you are outside, pick up your rubbish and teach your kids that, just as they do not litter at home, they should act the same in our “global home”.
3. Have a garden and teach your kids to care for the garden. If you live in an apartment building, have pot plants and take care of them.
4. Every year, plant new things in your garden.
5. When you go camping, put out your fire properly. Be careful with cigarettes and fire in the bush.
6. Have a compost bin and put your organic waste in it.
7. When you fish, make sure you follow the rules of fishing. The rules are there to protect the fish, but in the long term, they protect the people.
8. Turn off the lights when they are not needed.
9. Avoid long showers.
10. Use water-saving appliances. Consider the water rating before you buy.
11. Walk instead of driving.
12. Ride a bike instead of driving.
13. Walk up the stairs instead of using the elevator (it will make you healthy too).
14. Car pool if you can.
15. Install a “half flush” in your toilet,
16. Use public transport if you can.
17. Open your car windows from time to time.
18. Hang your clothes outside to dry instead of using a dryer.
19. Use your washing machine only when you have a full load.
20. Use your dishwasher only when you have a full load.
21. Use solar power.
22. Recycle your clothes. Donate them or use their fabric to make something else. The more you use, the less everyone needs to produce.
23. Separate your garbage and recycle.
24. Buy products with less wrapping and packaging.
25. Use reusable bags and boxes instead of plastic bags.
26. Do not print things you do not have to. Learn to adjust your computer applications to make text easy to read.
27. Use recycled paper.
28. Print on both sides of the page if possible.
29. Use emails as much as you can to save printing.
30. Pay your bills online (and choose to receive email statements) to save tons of paper waste.
31. Be careful what you wash down the sink (avoid disposing of oil, paint or hazardous chemicals).
32. Use a strainer in your sink.
33. Plan your shopping. If you buy more than you need and have to throw it away, everybody loses.
34. Use leftover food and make new dishes with it.
35. Turn off taps and make sure they do not leak.
36. Find ways to save water in your shower, toilet, garden and sink.
37. Wash your car on the grass.
38. Use energy-efficient light bulbs.
39. Reuse your containers (just be careful when using them in a microwave oven).
40. Buy in bulk to save on packaging.
41. When you use your oven, avoid opening the door.
42. When you heat water, heat only as much as you need.
43. When you bake, try to do all your baking on one day, so you only have to preheat the oven once.
44. Clean all your filters.
45. Use timers for electric appliances.
46. When you mow your lawn, use the cuttings for compost.
47. Borrow equipment from people to avoid buying something you rarely use.
48. Lend other people your equipment, for the same reason.
49. Find out natural alternatives for chemical cleaners.
50. Reuse envelopes.
51. Use old magazines and phone books for arts and craft.
52. Avoid using disposable plates, cups and cutlery.
53. If you can work from home, do it.
54. Buy used furniture.
55. 
    Try to fix things before buying new ones.

Be the change you want to see in the world
– Mahatma Gandhi

Autumn will come

Working in the Studio

Painting blocks for Art O Mat

When I paint for exhibits and shows and now merchandise I find that to be on top of the seasons I have to paint almost six months in advance.

So, its a beautiful summer day and I'm painting Fall paintings.

The harvest months will soon be here, Summer days will be shortened to soft breezes and the harvest will come in. 

Autumn comes with warm colors of red, yellow, and orange.

Be Kind, Be caring, Be compassionate to yourself

Fire, Jean Hart Artwork

Be kind, be caring, be compassionate  Therapy,

Sometimes you just have to feel the pain. Feel the angry and feel the hurt.

Once you have decide how you want to handle it. 

Some feelings you may want to take actions on, others you may only want to accept them for what they are. 

Whatever way is best for you,

express it, feel it, grow with it.

What painting has become the most famous portrait in the world?

What painting has become the most famous "portrait" in the world?
........Whistler's Mother.....

Even though Whistler's intentions for this painting was not to draw a portrait of his mother, the general public ignored his intentions and have instead gone beyond his study of grey and black, to claim that it was a tribute to mothers.

The original title was  simply,

"Grey and Black No. 1"

He was studying composition and color with no real regard for a portrait.

Before he was allowed to hang his painting in the Royal Academy of Art in London, England, Whistler was asked to change the title to Portrait of the Artist's Mother.
