The Winged Hearts Acrylic Painting

by tiffanyVisual art July 16, 2021March 16, 2021No Comments

Title: Winged Hearts

Size: 10 inches by 8 inches

Medium: Acrylic paint on stretched canvas

Year completed: 2020

Write Up: Let your heart fly free above the sky and sea. Well, you can’t see the sea in this painting, but that’s what I thinking of when I painted Winged Hearts, another acrylic painting.

I love painting and creating clouds in my artwork lately. There is something soothing and fun about adding the different colors and layers of cloud. I watch them grow from flat blobs of paint to fluffy colorful clouds with each layer I paint with them. Also, I of course love to paint hearts. If you’ve been around my visual art for any period of time you should know that. With the clouds and hearts, this was such a natural and fun painting for me to do. Plus the colors are the ones I’ve been gravitating to lately. This is a very Tiff painting and I love it. I hope you love it too.

My Magical Garden Painting

by tiffanyVisual art July 2, 2021March 16, 2021No Comments

Title: Magical Garden

Size: 8 inches by 10 inches

Medium: Acrylic paint on stretched canvas

Year completed: 2020

Write Up: My Magical Garden painting is a quick and fun painting I did with more emotion than thought. I started it with just the background and slowly added elements to it with little mind power. My goal was to simply have fun and move the paint around until it was a completed piece. First I added more textured grass then some pink flower-like plants. Next came the other flowers. I added the arch after that but it didn’t seem complete. That is when the trees popped up.

I’m really happy with this colorful painting. It reminds me of a magical garden from a different realm. As if you could walk through the archway and into a land of fantasy. There is also peace and calm to the simple plants, as though they are waiting for you to finish creating them with your desires and imagination.

I hope you enjoy my Magical Garden painting as much as I do. If you do please let me know with a comment below.

Love Boldly My Acrylic Painting

by tiffanyVisual art June 18, 2021February 22, 2021No Comments

Title: Love Boldly

Size: 11 inches by 14 inches

Medium: Acrylic paint on stretched canvas

Year completed: 2020

Write Up: Not to be too dramatic, but this painting sort of changed my life. I had the idea to do something like this. It was a cool exclamation mark with a heart instead of a dot. As I painted it I realized what it meant. It meant “Love Boldly.” What does that look like though and why should I paint it? Well, I needed to stop being afraid of other people’s opinions. If they misinterpret my love and caring we could either work through that or I could explain myself. This ‘love boldly’ became my 2020 motto and I even got this symbol tattooed on my forearm. It opened my eyes to how I should treat everyone. This included the stranger on the street, my best friends, and myself. Everyone should be loved boldly and without fear.

Now noticing this I see myself smiling and saying hi to strangers more. I also notice better self-talk and an even more positive attitude. It is partly me stepping outside of myself and also me having enough confidence to say, “people can think I’m strange I’m going to love everyone as boldly as I can today.”

This whole shift in being started with this painting so don’t just live boldly but love boldly also.

Heart Given is a rather spiritual painting of mine. It is a woman giving her bruised and battered heart up and in return 2 doves are bringing her a bright, fresh, new one. This painting shows how when we give God our hearts he gives us a new heart that is more beautiful than the heart we gave up.

The Thrill of Holding Your New Book: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry May 18, 2021February 2, 2021No Comments

“The Thrill Of Holding You New Book” is a short poem I wrote when I published Garden Of Poems.

Excitement brews and bubbles.
Oh what a thrill
to hold your struggles in your hand
to embrace your heart printed on the page.

A book cannot smile
so I double my grin.
My normal smile for my joy
then double for him.
My new born boook
I get to hold and embrace.
Oh what a thrill.

My Plastic Rose Painting

Title: Plastic Rose

Medium: multi-media (watercolors, mod-podge, and acrylic) on canvas

Size: 11 inches by 14 inches

Year Painted: 2020

For Sale:

Price for the public: $103

Write Up:

My “Plastic Rose” painting was so much fun to paint. It is different from most of my other paintings because it is not just acrylic. Yes, the muted pink border is acrylic paint. However, I also used mod-podge and watercolors.

The background is watercolors with mod-podge in between the layers. I wanted to see how layers of watercolor would look. Would it give the painting more depth? Could I make it look different from my other backgrounds?

The Rose is then done in acrylic paint on top of the watercolors. I then sealed it with a final layer of mod-podge. This gave it a plastic texture, which is why the name is “Plastic Rose.”

This painting showed me that I enjoy experimenting and something beautiful can come from exploration.

Patter Of Rain: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry May 4, 2021February 2, 2021No Comments

Listen to the patter of the rain.
It feeds the thirday earth,
changing the dried tan field
to a plush green meadow;
a blanket of love.
Turned on a faucet above
caused life to bloom
so shortly after its gloom.
It washes away the past
giving hope to thefuture.
All is right with the world
so listen to the patter of the rain.

My Mighty Morning Prayer

by tiffanyPoetry April 20, 2021February 2, 2021No Comments

My Mighty Morning Prayer is a prayer in poem form that I pray in the morning when I don’t really know what to say.

Lord God Almighty
You are king of kings
and Lord of lords.
You've blessed my life abundantly.
I know You love me.
Lord God, You are with me daily.
Please open my eyes to see Your works.
Open my ears to hear Your voice
and my heart and mind
to know Your discernment and wisdom.
You are mighty to give and wonderful to answer prayers.
Thank You for all you do 
and thank you for who You are.

Amen.
