My review of "Annie's Stories"

My review of “Annie’s Stories”

“Annie’s Stories” by author Cindy Thomson

Annie’s Stories is the second book in Cindy Thomson’s “Ellis Island” series, the first book being “Grace’s Pictures”, which I had not had the opportunity to start with. I believe stepping into Annie’s story, and not having got the feel for Cindy’s stories beforehand, caused me to take a little longer then most to get the feel for the story. It was a bit…

The Process of Change - Aurora's Choice

The Process of Change – Aurora’s Choice

I’m a strong believer in things “happening for a reason”, be it God, the Universe, Karma, Good Energy, Bad Energy or whatever you believe. I believe this painting came at a time in my life because I needed it. Or, you can say that the painting is what it is because of what I was going through. Either way, the two halves came together for a reason.

When I started this painting I was going through…

A New Art Venture -

A New Art Venture –

    So I’ve been on a path this past year to find myself….we all change as we get older, we become partners, spouses, parents, career folk….we grow up….but sometimes in that process of change we tend to lose ourselves….After my kids started school, I decided it was time to find myself. I wanted to be successful, as a writer, and as an artist, but up until now I had only ever followed one path. I…

Sorcerer Mickey - The Master of Color

Sorcerer Mickey – The Master of Color

  Sorcerer Mickey was a commissioned piece. I was asked if I had ever done a Sorcerer Mickey piece, to which I said no, and they said, “What if I asked you to make me one?” …. so I sat on my couch with this canvas and mat in hand, and my water color pencils next to me. I hadn’t planned on using this material for an actual piece, I just thought I would doodle up an idea on it, then move it to an…

Skater Mickey Memorial Piece

Skater Mickey Memorial Piece

  This piece in particular was especially difficult to do. My husband’s nephew passing away was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through. I put my entire heart and soul into this piece. Zach loved Disney, as I loved Disney, as my husband and his family all love Disney. So, I drew Mickey following the news of his passing. It was how I dealt with things. Shortly after we took his…

A Mother's Love - Dumbo

A Mother’s Love – Dumbo

  It may drive my husband crazy sometimes, but the process of a painting isn’t always smooth and consistent. Especially when you’re an artist who paints through their emotions. There’s days where I can sit with a painting, start to finish, within a couple hours. Other times I can sit with a painting for months, years even, and walk away many times before I can sit down and finish it. Some pieces…
