To Feed The Starving Artist - Some Art For You.
For your consideration today I have some artwork from a very special person to me. They have been a constant inspiration in my life to stand up and do the things you believe in, no matter what the difficulties you face.
This piece is titled "China Nights", I liked the use of orange in this piece, the seamless sky to water transition, and the friendly little addition of the flower in the corner.
This piece is titled "Colourful Hearts" and to me represents love being squished off to the side, but still radiating strong energies.
This piece is titled "Corn Fields" but I have always called it "Message Sticks" after the Aborigines method of leaving standing sticks at important locations.
The story behind this mysterious artist is one of great hardship, they suffer from a range of physical challenges and mental issues resulting from being outcast due to differences. An epileptic fit at a young age caused an increase in cranial pressure which resulted in mild brain damage and causing some cerebral palsy which has effected her ability to perform prolonged activities.
This has never tarnished her love for the arts, and for creating beautiful music, she loves to perform and really seems to be at home when going out to do her open mike contests even if she does not have the staying power of others.
This women will always be inspiring to me, so very strong, underestimated by many. But highly intelligent and always willing to put her best foot forward no matter what the cause. I appreciate this and respect highly.
I have been encouraging her to come onto the steemit platform but because of the nature of learning things slowly I believe she finds it quite difficult to adopt to change, and so I created this post of which 100% of the reward will be given to her in the local currency as encouragement for allowing me to share this. I apologize for the low quality of the images and if you would like I will make another attempt at higher quality ones from a proper camera. (They were shot from my phone).
I would love to hear what you think of these pieces in the comments below.
This amazing artist today is my friend, is my strength and she is my family.
Please be gentle SteemIt. <3
Much love and thanks for your attention today.
A genuinely moving post Sammo.
Dear Mystery Artist,
I sincerely hope the words of the Steemians here has helped you to understand that this community will embrace you and your beautiful art.
You have a profound talent and deserve an appreciating audience.
Please take the step in the Steemit ocean, it's a fantastic place.
You have friends here already.
TremendosPercy.
To the dear mystery artist who has overcome much heartaches and sorrow, and daily reaches beyond those limitations, I see your heart in each beautiful, bold painting. Your talent reaches and touches my heart with every carefully rendered painting.
Photo one of the sunset in bright, bold colors, still high and perfect in the sky basking a lone boat with the intricate dragon's bust speaks to me of courage on a lonely path, perhaps at times feeling the loneliness of that solitary journey. You are fierce and bold. Your journey has changed you, and deepened your appreciation for life and beauty. The water is calm, in spite of inner turmoil in the painting, I feel viewing the boat's deep blue.
Painting two rendered with a very large heart of red reveals a deep passion for life and people. The accents of blue again reveal points of peace and balance. The green is life and renewal cupping the heart changed by challenge. The multiple white hearts representative of hope, which flutters upward and out of the painting, uplifting notes.
Painting three of the corn stalks, all but one leaning to the West are all sturdy, with different stages of strength and maturity. Only two stand straight, the smallest and the farthest stalk, still tall, still strong in spite of nature's often harsh conditions. I raised corn for many years, one harsh storm sometimes flattened the whole crop of sweet corn causing me to go and pluck the salvageable ears and leave what was not yet mature to compost for the coming year.
Come and share your art and if you feel comfortable, your thoughts with us. You will find many kindred spirits who take refuge in this art filled community. They say that the crushed petal of the rose smells sweetest, and suffering and challenge produces an emotional intelligence that produces great works.
I hope you will take that daredevil plunge to join the Steemit community and honor us with more of the same.
We support your art and respect your privacy, too. Sammo will be your protector and guide, and you couldn't ask for a better guardian. I'm wandrnrose7, I hope to see you soon.
No reply to this will do it justice.
Just know that I am forever thankful to you for taking the time to write such a detailed response, so much love for the wild wandering rose. <3
It was from the heart, and my pleasure. ❤
She sounds remarkable. Wish I could meet her!
And help her learn how to use steemit. From one disabled girl to another. <3
I will do my best golden soul. <3
Thank you for the kind words and support.
This is really inspiring , be the force with her. Thank you for sharing those beautiful arts.
She has been a constant source of inspiration to me.
Such a powerful talented woman.
Waow - I really love the colours in teh "Corn Fields", I can almost feel the suns light on my skin - beautiful!
I am absolutely IN LOVE with the first one. The colors being used to give hint at details that you fill in yourself.
And the bow ornament just makes it.
I could EASILY see that hanging on display somewhere.
I really hope your friend joins, because I need more of her art in my life.
I will do my best to bring her on board. Thanks for your kind words and support. <3
preach girl. you basically just stole the words right out of my mouth!
Nice comment.. Would love to see ur work too
Dear mysterious artist,
My name is kubbyelizabeth and it would be an honor to have you on this platform. These pictures are beautiful.
Very bold friendly warm colors. I'm curious to learn more about you. Many on here express themselves despite of their physical, emotional, and mental challenges. These so called limitations are unlimited here. It doesn't hold you back. It propels you upward and on ward depending on how you chose to express yourself to the world.
The only limit here is the one you chose to limit.
Sammo is a gifted writer and has a brilliant mind. It's hard not to compare one self to his talent and feel less then.
However, he only encourages others and seeks authenticity with every relationship he makes here. He can sense false character being portrayed and gives it no attention.
You see here we all write behind the mask of a computer screen. You can be whomever you want and whenever your ready share your true identity.
I know your amazing and beautifully talented. With lots to say and we welcome you to say it here.
What do you say? Give this place a shot. Love always Kubby
Thanks for your kind words of encouragement kubby, I think you just managed to move me in a way I have not cared to be moved for some time.
I believe we all have unlimited potential, it's just a matter of getting up, getting your feet under you, or your keyboard infront or brush in hand, and making it happen.
Thank you for the awesome comment and support, I will be sure to show this one off. <3
Soooo, after reading other people's comments I didn't realize that people weren't addressing it to your friend directly. Which I thought was the point. Glad you approved either way :-) it came from the ❤️
I like the Corn Fields, has a certain Van Gogh feel to it.
Beautiful images I enjoyed them all and they are very unique. I hope this person comes to steemit as I hope to help and support her on her steemit journey. It's amazing how she has overcome so much and still does art. Upvoted and resteemed
Thank you for your support artsy, I knew you would love this one. Hugs!!
I like the Message Sticks. I also know and respect someone who's life has given a greater share of difficulty than most. They are a constant inspiration to me and lead me to carry on when I just want to give up. You do a good thing here sir. ~Mr Dingo
Never give up, Never surrender!!
Keep wearing the hat Sir, you make amazing things and I am proud of you for your courage in making an attempt at every day.
Much gracious in giving some of your limited time to read over this post, respect and love. <3
Thanks what a peachy thing to say :-)
