Tori Amos has always inspired me in many ways, when I was younger her music helped me conquer many hard times during my life when music seemed to be my only friend many times. I concur with many of her ideas, beliefs and vibes. As much influence as she has had through her art I painted a painting of her as a expression of how I see her. This was a very fun and lively piece to create, Im not in favor of realism and not altogether great at realism but Im rather pleased with this expression of Tori.

Winter Snow Flake Blue Painting
As Winter is upon us here in the dismal midwest, often times once the season hits I feel connected to the season its self.
Its cold grey, dark and sleepy. Time for me to curl up into my bed and snuggle into a good book a cup of tea and wait for spring. Its rather too bad that we cant just sleep the entire season!

Dreamy Goddess
Angel Folk Art The Gaurdian
;
I painted this for my loved dear Grandmother when she was in the hospital. Guardian angel full of guiding light and love. She holds the strength,faith and hope when we are unable to do this ourselves. Call to your Guardian Angel when you feel weak and in need. We are always being watched and looked after, just take the time to remember and feel the divine presence in our lives.

Irish Celtic Goddess Brighid
As the Pagan in me runs wild and deep this Goddes has always been close to my heart and soul.
For the past few years I have really fell in love with the Folk Art style it can be quite primitive yet intriguing.
As I have almost always nearly rejected the idea of taking up realism, as I live in a "real" world I do all I can to escape and transcend this, especially through creating Art that is a expression of the human experience that includes dreams,visions,hopes,fears and aspirations of a transcendental stellar soul
The tradition of female priestesses tending sacred, naturally-occurring "eternal flames" is a feature of ancient Indo-European pre-Christian spirituality. Other examples include the Roman goddessVesta, and other hearth-goddesses, such as Hestia.
Brighid was also connected to holy wells, at Kildare and many other sites in the Celtic lands. Well dressing, the tying of clooties to the trees next to healing wells, and other methods of petitioning or honoring Brighid still take place in some of the Celtic lands and the diaspora.- Via Wiki
