Rave Review from Betty Powell!

Hey y'all,

Got this most delightful email from Betty Powell, one of my recent art customers, and thought I'd share it here.

(She chose "Chakra Dance" on canvas.)

Here's what Betty had to say:

I am so happy with your beautiful painting that I feel
my chakras are dancing!

If you could see me, you would see the biggest smile
on my face. I am so glad we met and I got your beautiful
creation!

I think it was Thursday I finally made it to the post office,
and then I waited to open it until I was in just the right
time and space to fully enjoy it. Wow! What a gift you
have! I am delighted to know you and to have a piece of
your artwork in my home.

It's going to be hard to put it in my library/consultation
room that I don't use that often, since most of my work is
by phone and in my study where my laptop is. Hmmm....
your painting may be about to spark a whole makeover
of my study! So I will feel great hanging it in here.

Many thanks for all the ways you are setting my chakras
dancing!

And thank you, Betty, for sharing this cool story with us!

Peaceful Mountain

Here's a new picture for all you art connoisseurs, called "Peaceful Mountain," Copyright 2008 by Sheryl Brown, All Rights Reserved.

Climbing a mountain can be a very rigorous undertaking, or just a nice low-key hike. In any case, you can rest awhile upon reaching the top!

I remember hiking up Mount Si (east of Seattle) a few times, and it can seem just so relentless -- up, up, and up -- and not the most viewpoints along the way compared to some hikes.

But when you get to the top, it's like being on top of the world.... And you can sit quietly and listen to the vague sounds of the freeway far below.

Now that's peaceful, being above it all.

I painted this painting after putting an upsetting issue to rest. Hope that inspires you too!

A Gentler Burst of Energy

To offset the exuberance of "Chakra Shower," here's "Chakra Dance," my onetime attempt to copy my own work.

See, it just goes to show you that every painting is its own little snowflake of a personality!

I noticed that certain personalities prefer the one or the other.

Can you guess what trait might be making the difference? Go ahead and leave a comment on my blog if you feel so inspired!

So far, it's just a casual observation I've been making--no scientifically sound, statistically proven experiment in place!

"Chakra Shower" and "Chakra Dance" are both Copyrighted 2008 by Sheryl Brown, All Rights Reserved.

Total Energy Burst!

What better way to celebrate the completion of this cold month of March than to have a burst of energy!?

Here is my painting Chakra Shower, (Copyright 2008 by Sheryl Brown, All Rights Reserved) to give you a little of that renewing energy that we all love so well!

You may be interested to know that in the process of painting this, I began to think I had overworked it. So I made one of my rare attempts to copy my own work (Trust me, I seem incapable of it!).

Go to this link on my personal blog to compare the two paintings, if you're at all curious. http://www.sunraysheryl.blogspot.com/2008/01/chakra-shower-and-chakra-dance.html

(And if you're not curious, you gotta write and tell me that too!)

Thanks for any and all feedback!

Thanks for the votes -- Now here's "Love in Motion"

The comments and feedback are coming in by phone, email and comments on the blog for voting on "Serenity" or "Calm" -- and it looks like "Calm" is still in the lead!

Here's a new one for your viewing pleasure called, "Love in Motion," Copyright 2008 by Sheryl Brown, All Rights Reserved.

This would be a nice one for Valentine's Day, but hey--I featured my actual Valentine, Larry, last month on my sunraysheryl blog.

Click right here on this link to see my Valentine. http://www.sunraysheryl.blogspot.com/2008/02/this-is-my-valentine.html !

This painting was inspired as a result of getting some of my own personal healing.

Your comments or questions, welcome!

And here is Door #2 -- "Calm"

Which one do you prefer--the painting in this post which is "Calm in the Eye of the Storm"--or the one in the last post ("Serenity")?

(You can find "Serenity" by clicking on this link http://sherylbrownart.blogspot.com/2008/03/which-one-will-be-next.html )

I am taking an informal poll, and would love your feedback!

(PS All art is Copyrighted by Sheryl Brown 2008, All Rights Reserved. Thanks!)

Which one will be next? -- "Serenity"

Soon I'll be having another one of my paintings reproduced and available for sale.

I'm curious to know which of these next two is the one you folks are more interested in.

Today's painting is called "Serenity Rising (from the Deep)," Copyright 2008 by Sheryl Brown, All Rights Reserved.

You will find the other one ("Calm") in tomorrow's post.

(PS Here's a link back to the future! http://sherylbrownart.blogspot.com/2008/03/and-here-is-door-2.html )
