Jean Hart Artwork Newsletter April 2015


Jean Hart Artwork
Newsletter 
April 2015 

Today's the day. 
I just finished my two samples.
I have painted, sealed, and sent them off with my application.
The two paintings, left and right are part of my new series,
"Let's have a Little Fun" 
Wish me luck.
I will let you know what happens later. 
As an artist I am always looking for new ways to show my artwork along with selling my artwork. 
I have joined many  organizations, contests, and mail art programs. 
For me art has been a life line. I would paint each day even if no one saw my work. 
I love art. I read about art, I look at art each day, and I paint each day.
I have three books going at all times. 
Art history, art biographies, and how to paint books. 
I can loose myself wondering around an art supply store for hours. 
I love to see whats new. Try something I have not yet done and basically be creative in all areas not just painting.
What's next for Jean Hart Artwork  
I started to draw on paper cups. Paper Coffee Cups with lids, which I make bigger so you can use them as banks. I bought a box of cups so I'm still designing banks. New designs will soon be posted.
If your looking for an original, original fine art gift, these are fun. 
I glue them to a wooden base for more security. 
I have them displayed at the Northeastern Nevada Museum gift store or contact me. 
they sell for $15.00
In May at the Elko Library I have a donation for their Just Desserts fundraiser
Read, Learn, Grow, acrylic 9" x 12" 



Also, a puzzle  donated for the 
Light The Way 5K 
In Elko, Nv 

What are the many ways you show your artwork?

Vision Boards, their your future

My digital vision board, created by Jean Hart
 
Vision Boards....
What is a vision board?
 It is a way for you to create the life you want by collecting images
and making a collage of the things you want.
 
It is your future. 
 
Above is my digital vision board.
I layered the background with a painting of California poppies I did in color pencil. 
Then started to add words that inspire me.
In the past I have made vision boards that are much larger and much more elaborate.
I start with a large piece of poster board.
Next, I meditate on what I see my future to be.
I ask these questions.
What kind of life do I want to create for myself? 
Where do I see myself in a month, six months, a year? Or longer.
1. start with a large poster board.
2. I like to divide the board into compartments;
 Home, health, knowledge, finances, travel.
Come up with your own ideas.
Remember, this is your future life, not your life now.
3. I start looking through magazines for I can cut out and glue onto the board.
Be specific. If you want a new car, cut out a picture of the exact car you want. Not just any car.
4. If you can't find photos of what you want, then draw it. Or write it on the board.
5. I love words so I always find quotes that inspire me.
6. Use paints, pens, stickers, photos, glitter, ribbons.
Whatever you need to dress this board up so it reflects your image of the future.
EXPRESS YOURSELF..
7. Next, I like to make a plan. I turn the board over, I draw two lines straight down the board from top to bottom. I pick three things from the front of the  board I want. 
 I number  1-3 in each column, and list  three small steps to how this will happen.
I also give a date that each step will be completed.
Be realistic about this. Not everything happens in a day, week or even a month.
8. Now find a place where you will look at this board everyday
Have fun with this.

It's my Birthday

This is what 59 looks like.....

It's my Birthday
It's my birthday and I'm spending it with my Mom and sister and brother in the hospital.
It's not the plans I had made for my birthday, no, God had different plans. My Mom fell and broke her hip. We got the call that she was going into surgery and at 91years of age this is critical.
So, I canceled all the plans I made, took three planes and got there after the surgery to be with her.
She wears a hearing aid so you have to speak to her through a speaker box.
While I was there to be with her, in retrospect. She was there for me. We revisited family stories, and laughed about silly things I did while growing up. In spite of the reason I was there I was having a good time with my Mom , brother and sister.


It was a special time to visit with family. I believe nothing makes you think more about family then times of emergency.
Life is fragile.
When I was there it hit me that no matter who you are, where your from or what kind of life you lived, it comes down to this.
The spirit of life.
 The determination of survival. The fighters spirit.
My Mom is strong and I'm so proud of how hard she is fighting to recover.
My birthday was spent with my orginal family.
My Mom, who gave my life and my older siblings that watched over me. 
No matter how old I get, I will always be the baby sister.
That is my station in this family. Outside of this circle my life is my own.
But here I play a different role, and I'm happy to hand over the reins.
Maybe later I will blog about the personality of being the sixth child.
Funny, in  my own home, I deal with the personalities of the first born, and the last born.
So, happy birthday to me and many more to come.
Make plans and then remember be flexible because better plans may be in the offering.
Please, say a little prayer for my Moms recovery,
 and one for anyone who is fortunate to live to be 90 years old.
Be Inspired,
~jean

Keep on Walking

Keep on walking
Rest and Recover, acrylic, 11" x 14" Jean Hart Artwork

Recovery isn't a goal, but a process that continues each day. You are always repairing and renewing and regenerating yourself.  After my 5k walk I was feeling so awful. My toes turned purple, because of ill fitting shoes.
Here is a website that will help you to pick the right shoe for you.
I will recover and I will walk again. In fact I just signed up for another walk in July.
Yep it's another 5K.  
I went to the doctor to make sure my toes were not infected. She said to stay off them for a week, no swimming for 2 weeks, keep them dry and uncovered, and use neosporin. Good chance I will lose 2 of the toenails. :-(
 
While I was resting and recovering this week, I had a chance to watch a few movies.
Here is my list, enjoy.
1. Summer in Feb.

Love Fortunes for Valentines


1 Day to Valentine's Day



1 Day to Valentine's Day.....

Other Than You
by Girly

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.

To Be In The Arms of Love
by Jean Hart
I have been taken,
numbed, dumbed an stunned
into the arms of love,
Would you kindly turn yourself
inside out and twist
your heart just so
to be in the arms of love,
If you would, could you please
remove all logical thought
and expose yourself emotionally
to be in the arms of love.
Buckle up for the ride of love is intense.
You have no idea how steely
you must be
to be in the arms of love.

Love Fortune Cookie,
This is the one, the last one. Let it be the best one of the bunch.
"True happiness is holding the hand of the one you hold dear."
Aha, again how very true it is.
Many blessing to you,
may your heart hold love, joy and good fortune.
Be Inspired,
~Jean
