Pour paintings have been a trend that interests me. They are all so unique, so I did one. Of course, when I was done it didn’t look like something that I could call mine. I decided to add a border of pink and silver. That is what it needed.

What do you think of it? Let me know by commenting down below.

This is a simple and small square painting I did in 1 session early in 2020. The background has gold paint mixed in with a lighter tan paint.

This painting itself is focused on the idea of romance and marriage. The two different halves are different but fit together. They both blend into the other and of course, the heart itself represents love. When 2 people or in this case 2 colors join together they can create something more dynamic than if they were alone.

Another thing I found interested while painting this painting is that I noticed if these 2 parts of the heart were alone they would be tear shaped. However, together they are the symbol for love. It helps bring out the fact that pure love relieves the tears.

Tara’s Flowers Painting: A Proud Commissioned Art Piece

by tiffanyVisual art October 23, 2020November 18, 2020No Comments

In May, one of my sisters commissioned me to a piece for her. Since it was close to her birthday and she was moving into her new place, I wanted to give it to her as a gift for those two events. I am thankful that I could ‘Tara’s Flowers’ painting to her.

Her favorite flower is the sunflower. She has a sunflower quilt and tattoos of sunflowers. Her request was that I do a dark gray background with sunflowers. She then gave me full rein on how to paint it.

I used what I knew of her new home for the background. She had dark hardwood floors, so I went for a slightly wooden feel for the background. I then had fun with the flowers themselves. It was a bit of a process to figure out how to make the flowers. I wanted them to look right, but I rarely paint flowers. As I worked on it, I realized I really enjoy painting flowers and creating depth.

The more I worked on the painting, the more I loved it and impressed myself with how it came out. The end product surprised me and love that most of the paint I used was metallic. The metallic caused issues when photographing the piece, but that’s the only drawback.

Because of this painting I will do more flower paintings and I could give my sister a wonderful gift.

This is a fun and fast painting I did one day. I wanted to try out a new style as an experiment to see how it would work. It turned out cute and delightful painting of a purple cartoon flower. I enjoy the black border and thick outlines on the heart flower and hills. Although it is more of a cartoon style it still has my style in it, which I of course also like.

New Day Painting

by tiffanyrecorded, Visual art May 26, 2020April 24, 2020No Comments

In April 2014 I took a day to relax and paint. I decided to record myself as I painted outside on a lovely day. I created my painting “New Day,” on that lovely day. Once I finished the painting I took the recording and sped it up so that about 2 hours of work fit into under 3 minutes of video. It’s fun to see the painting come to life right before your eyes.

Tile: New Day
Size: 10″x 12″
Medium: acrylic paint on canvas panel
Reason: This was painted in one session and is simply the sun rising on a new day.

Heart On Fire (Painting)

by tiffanymy creative self, recorded, Visual art June 22, 2014July 28, 2020No Comments

I normally do not like posting twice in one day, but I just finished an abstract painting that I’m calling “Heart On Fire.” It is very different from the other post so thought I would share it with you.

This painting started with a vague idea in my mind, but I was not sure how it would come out. It was my first attempt at painting a heart on fire. I do like how it came out. The purpose of this painting is to display the passion that is in at least my heart that shines even when the surroundings are dark.

The video is the recording of me painting it and the pictures are of the finish product (in case you could not tell).

Please know it has been purchased.

Paintings on eBay

by tiffanyLife, my creative self, Visual art May 10, 2014No Comments

I have posted the last three paintings I did on eBay. As of right now they are all being auctioned. The ones that are left after the auction is complete will be sold on eBay.

Title: Forest

Size: 9 inches by 12 inches

Medium: acrylic painting on canvas-covered panel

Reason: It had the urge to paint, like I try to do every weekend. When I sat down to paint I decided to paint something different from my last 2 paintings. I thought it would be abstract when I started, however it quickly became a forest.

My Artist Statement: I, Tiffany Joy, work with the written word, visual art, and acting to spread basic truth and highlight God’s love in hopes that I can brighten someones day and spread the loving gospel of God.

Here is the link to see the eBay posting for “Forest.“

Title: New Day

Size: 9 inches by 12 inches

Medium: acrylic painting on canvas-covered panel

Reason: After painting the piece “Islands” I wanted paint another piece, again while recording myself and in one sitting. This is the second piece I did in said format and the first Sunrise/ Sunset painting I have done.

Painting Islands

by tiffanymy creative self, recorded, Visual art April 6, 2014January 8, 2017No Comments

Yesterday I spent the afternoon painting and decided to paint a full piece. I painted it from beginning to end all in one sitting, which took about an hour. I also decided to record this process and see what it looks like to paint. I sped it up, put a good song in the background and posted it on youtube.

The song that is playing is Regnia Spektor’s Hotel Song and can be found on her album Begin to Hope, which was released in 2006. For more on Regnia Specktor her website.

Split Flower(Art Write-Up)

by tiffanyVisual art August 25, 2013April 2, 2019No Comments

Title:Split Flower
Size: 16 x 20 inches
Medium: Acrylic paint on canvas
Summary: It started simply with the butterfly trying to save the caterpillar who was not ready to fly yet. Through the painting process the plant with two different flowers started, which represent the two different feelings that were felt while trying to drag the caterpillar away.

Write-Up: This is one of the first paintings I created with a purpose and a clear message behind it. I had something to say that I didn’t want to put into exact words. I was not ready for that yet in this situation.

I chose the yellow background as a way to hide what I thought was dark. This painting is about an internal struggle and I did not want to be honest about that fact. However, when the background was just yellow it felt like too much of a lie. I added shades of splattered red to give a messier feeling; this is about a struggle even if I wanted to hide some of that fact.

In this painting I split the canvas in half diagonally. The lower half has the darker flower, with a darker explosion of feelings behind it. It is also underlined with an unnatural dark green fire that is almost translucent.

The top right half is lighter. The flower has more white in it and the feelings behind the flower are light pinks, yellows, and white. There is also cleansing and peaceful lavender water dripping down.

The main focus is the butterfly who is trying to rescue a caterpillar. The caterpillar itself is basic with only stripes, but the butterfly’s wings are complex with different layers and sections.

This panting represents my struggles to accept that the person who I wanted to love was not ready or not interested in the change I had gone through. I was different and happy with becoming a Christian and felt as though I was given a new life. I was a new being and wanted him to be one too. I wanted to rescue him from what he was, instead of letting him find his own way.

Solo tree

by tiffanymy creative self, Visual art August 21, 2013No Comments

I recently started to post and try to sell my paintings. I realized that writing and painting are my passions and what I want my career to be in. That is why I write and paint. I love both art forms, so much.

I have posted my paintings with their descriptions on my website. I figured I would start to post them here also, since they are one of my joys.

Here is the first one:

Solo Tree is a 14inch by 11inch acrylic painting on canvas, which was completed the later half of 2012. I painted this picture after moving back to my mother’s house on the East Coast from Santa Cruz California. I moved to reconnect to my family and friends who still lived on the East Coast, but found that the only connections I still had was my family. This isolation created a need for me to rediscover painting and through this need I painted this single tree. It has acted as a reminder that although all around may be dark, you can still choose to stand strong and bloom.
