Studio and family

Hey you guys!

I wanted to share a little bit of what I’ve been up to!

I’ve been cleaning my sudio. I know that doesn’t sound like a HUGE project but for an artist, TRUST me on this one, it often IS a HUGE project.

I had been putting it off for sometime due to my being on facebook and instagram so often. If you’ve been following me though, lately I have just been on this blog. My facebook and Instagram are both down and will be for awhile.

I have a couple other blogs, to keep busy. My other blogs can be found at

Which I call HeartyArt. It’s just for fun on wordpress and is empty at the moment.

There’s also

https://angelas-art-unites.blogspot.com/

Which is just my writing or thinking aloud. I’m unsure as to what I’m going to use either for.

I also made an audio to share with you all in this post!! Warning though! It’s long and I get rather passionate. I hope that if I didn’t say THANK YOU enough, that my typing does.

I’m thinking maybe one blog will be for my poems and the other for my smoothies and recipes. I’m unsure what do you guys think!?

I also intend on getting back to B-School, etc. in time as well!!!

Moving along… this is a photo that I have to share showing my studio!!!

All of the ornaments are in memory of my ancestors. I would go into further details as to why I painted leaves all over my walls, etc. but I tend to go on and on when I start there.

Plus, you can read about it in past posts.

The ornaments are

Queen Elizabeth ll April 21, 1926 - Sept 8, 2022

Prince Philip - June 10, 1921 - April 9, 2021

Queen Victoria May 24, 1819 - Jan 22, 1901

Mary Queen of Scots Dec 8, 1542 - Feb 8 1587

I would love to have one in memory of many others but some things are simply not possible at the moment. I have been VERY interested in my ancestors, ESPECIALLY the Spencer family.

I would REALLY LOVE to have one in memory of

King George Vl Dec 14, 1895 - Feb 6, 1952

I consider my life in memory of Prince John who passed of a seizure.

July 12, 1905 - Jan 18 1919

King George Vl whose birthday would be TODAY was brothers with Prince John and was kind to him.

I do not wish to make all of my art about seizures but when you have lived your life knowing everynight you could die in your sleep, etc. , there are no words that can fully express my emotions. I hope that those ornaments and leaves speak for me.

I wanted to share an ornament for each post until Christmas.

Here’s the first one. This shows my sister. Lara, she passed at 3yrs before I was born of Reye’s syndrome. I always wondered what it would have been like if she were here.

Wasn’t she an adorable little thing!? This was taken years ago and I created this ornament as a present when my zazzle store was up.

Sadly, I began to have issues with almost all my stores and they eventually had to be taken down.

I liked making things for my family, in support of them!

It always made me smile. I just realized in time it would also put me on the streets because I am anything but rich.

My family isn’t really the type to support my getting art being a paying job. It might be assumed by some that those in my health should simply sit back and let everyone else take care of them. I’m not the sit back and let others take care of me type though.

That is why nomatter what technical issues, etc. may come my way, nothing is going to stop my creating art. I also understand how many feel about abstract art in this area. I do and I still believe in it 100%. I always will too.

I have not written articles on other artists, been published due to my visual art, etc. for years all to give up on what I know dang well could make a good income. My having Epilepsy does not mean that I wish to sit down and give up. If anything it has shown me that life is worth living. If anything it has given me reasons to keep going. If anyone worked with me, purchased my art, etc. it would actually be a wise business move because due to my disability it can be written off on taxes if I am hired.

GRINS In all honesty, I haven’t seen a live Christmas tree in a couple years nor have I been to any Holiday parties, etc. I kinda like spending time online during the weekends and holidays though. Workaholic alert! I know but it’s actually very true. Being online let’s me spend my time with you or whoever is reading this. That to me is an honour!

That’s about it for this week. I can’t wait to post next week or when I can.

If you wish to hear from me daily, please know that I try and post daily on my above blogs.

Please leave a comment on any of them and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Namaste,

Angela
