You Help Me Orange Collage Flower
Who would have thought that using scrap paper could create lovely texture? Morgan did and I thank her. I have a collection of objects but paper isn’t one of them. Using paper to create texture, is as much fun as stamping with a candle lid. You stamp, mix and blend. You don’t know what will happen until the paint dries. Oh, that reminds me, I want to paint more ornament flowers.
I can’t get over the texture and color. Art and nature always help me navigate through negative thoughts. Art satisfies my curiosity. To paint this flower I applied color. I did a few sprays with a water bottle. I added more color. I flickered drops of blue and green. I used the piece of paper to stamp over the wet paint. And I painted on thin mixed-media paper. The more I experiment the better my art gets.
Siempre,

Here’s a wild thought…
Always take time to smell the flowers.
Life is colorful
Daydream and dance
Isn’t life wonderful
Think of all the flowers in your neighborhood
Think of all the flowers in every city and country
Now that’s a love, a language that’s understood
What would the world be without roses, chrysanthemums, tulips, peonies and sunflowers
Let’s not forget the butterflies and the bees
We are different, the same, a masterpiece, now that’s power!
Thanks for reading my poem, my writing and for being a fan. If you haven’t please subscribe. Find me on Pinterest ad Instagram. I want to see your art too.

You are Art
These days and this year has been wonderful. I’ve realized that we are all artists. It’s like a friend once said, we all have our walk. Yes we all have our walk but what’s the same is what we give to each other, our laughs, our words, or smiles, our trust, our encouragement and simply every element that makes us who we truly are. We are all artists! How we give may be different.
Oh, that reminds me, I rewrote these words with blue paint. I want to do multiple versions of this prom. Yes, why not call it a poem. Every now and then I say yes that’s why I wrote this poem. And that’s another reminder. I was doing a little Pinterest research and a self-love painting project sounds like a great idea!
Thank you for reading and please subscribe if you already haven’t. It’s going to be a great summer. Fall is looks good too. I may not post on Friday.
With love,
Mireya
Flow. Go. Do your thing.
Sometimes I try to paint flowers. I’ll work on all the details. As I’m about to finish I pick up the brush and go for it. That’s where the magic happens. You try too hard because you’re creating from the wrong place. You have to build a habit of creating from the but I like it place. You compare and judge your work by the rules or what you think is expected of you.
Flow. Go. Do your thing.
Yes this is a good title for these blooms. I’m glad I decided to share these flowers. Ok time to work on the color book.
Three pink blooms for a happy day
I painted and pasted these blooms a week ago. Today, todoy these blooms made me smile! I selected these blooms this morning. and after a weird day of second guessing, making little mistakes and learning a lesson I love them even more.
Let The Kid Work
Here’s round 2 of my sporadic lettering ideas. Is this hand lettering in the typical sense. I hope not. I’ve been creating to see where the idea takes me. Sometimes you see artists-kids- sharing their work with excitement because of the idea. There’s no perfection. I observe this with artists from time to time. I know there’s lots of practice to get to the free to fail creative state. Skill is important but what everything really comes down to is mindselt.
Think of some quotes. Halloween ones. Write. Create. No Helvetica unless there’s good reason too. I am going to paint some fun halloween crafts. Purple spider. Or Green.
Here’s the lemon. The candle lid floral stamp is hardly visible, Tracing paper may not be the best option for stamping. I do like this simple lemon and the idea is even better. I should have taken more care in gluing the lemon. Somehow the unintended bubbles reinformace my thought. Lemons like life’s problems can be too bitter to eat alone. What makes a world of difference is knowing that just the right amount of lemon makes good chicken or bars. The choice is always ours. I write and create the advice I need.
I can’t believe it’s Friday again. I have been painitng lots of new work. Much of it is me saying I’m gong to paint. I don’t know what I’ll paint. Or paint corn but end up painting lemons and leaves. Oh I painted curcles and a cactus. Collage lettering. Life is truly better when I paint what I want. I am better.
Have a good weekend. I’ll probably do a weekend post.
A Collage Orange for you
Making collage fruit is fun. I had a few leftover scraps and I began cutting leaves. Then this lemon idea popped in my head. I had the words. Only problem is this lemon is an orange. Now I am going to paint yellow and green paper.
Oranges are nature’s gift to keep us healthy and beautiful. Yes we nust eat and do what is good for us.
Yesterday I posted about Dada art and letting the idea take oer. Today my reading continues with the same topic. Let it be means you let go of everything else. Let go of what you know and go. My intention was improving my drawing and hand lettering. A floral arrangement on the wall gave me an idea. As I drew the idea kept growing. I followed. Don’t manipulate the tools. Let the tools work through you.
Your work is a gift and when you recognize this magic happens. Words from another artist.
