PRIMITIVE MEETS MODERN

PRIMITIVE MEETS MODERN
6"x6"

Hi everyone!
It seems like it has been centuries since I last posted.
I've been busily working away.

I've got my bug series coming up soon.
One is finished, and I am working on the other one.
Can you believe that I am looking forward to showing these to you.
Actually, I really like the one that I just completed.
I must be delirious...
very delirious...

Thank you so much for all of your support for my new store! You have been simply incredible. You are all an awesome bunch. I really appreciate your comments!

Some have suggested that I add prints to the store. I think it is a stupendous idea. So I'll look into it, and then I'll let you know.

"PRIMITIVE MEETS MODERN"

May the two meet!

There always seems to be a conflict between the two

The real question is...

Who will over power the other?

Which is more valuable
to you
to me
to society?

TIME
is the only one that WILL decide...

THE DAWN CELEBRATES

HOW LONG WILL IT BE?

HOW LONG WILL IT BE?
6"x6"

First of all, how is everyone doing? Hope all is well in the blogosphere...(hmm I don't know if I spelled that one right - oh well....if anyone out there can tell me it will be appreciated)

Ok, it seems like it's been a while since I last chatted. I guess since my last Yakity Yak post, I didn't feel like talking either. The politicians have out done themselves. Please don't get me wrong....I am very much into this election, I guess my internal psyche is rebelling, because YOU SAID WHAT? was born.

These political statements are arising...I just finished another one that I will be posting in the near future. It's called GET OFF MY BACK! I really, really, really, like that painting, and I'm so excited about sharing it with you. I won't tell you when so that it will be a surprise.

Now about the above painting. Hmmmm like most of you know I don't work conceptually. I simply begin with a circle or design and proceed to add more until I have the final painting. As a result, the final outcome will be spontaneous, and from the deepest recesses of my soul.

HOW LONG WILL IT BE? is about my nostalgia for my native state, Arizona. I frankly don't feel too homesick right now, because I'm having one big party time with all of you on this blog, and because I am looking forward with great anticipation to open up my wonderful ETSY STORE. But, this sad painting surfaced, and what can I do but share it with my favorite friends.

Enjoy, and please work real hard at having the best weekend ever. Bye - Veronica

Oh, by the way, that poor topsy turvy head sticking out from the top of the painting is my dearly beloved hubby, Bucky. He's always there for me, he's always moving so that I can be near the galleries, etc.; and he is just a very very special fella...but....he's upside down! hmmmm

A MOVING BILLBOARD!

Hi everyone - It seems like it has been agessssss since I last visited with all of you dear ones!

Well, I have been a busy bee at work. It took some doing to catch up with my art. I ran out of paintings to post. Due to my artistic diligence, I now have 2.

I'm really excited about both of them. I'll post the 8"x10" on Friday. By the way, it's a surprise! It's just one of those paintings that I really like!

Then on Monday, I will post the second one. That's a sentimental stinker. Hmmm.

For now, I just have to share these photos with you. First of all, I need to talk a little about my husband, Jose. I call him BUCKY! I like that much better.

For some reason I never got used to his name. The reason for this is that when we met in Mexico City, Mexico, we both belonged to a Yoga organization. Bucky was being prepped to become a Yogi. His yogi name was SAVITAR. I grew to love the fella with this name. I married him as Savitar, and I had my daughter while he was called Savitar. So it was very difficult once we left Hatha Yoga to revert back to his original name. It was totally alien to me. Since we became Christians along the way, we were asked to leave the past behind, and return to our original names. This meant that my beloved Savitar would cease to exist. Since then I have called him Jose, and many more names. The name Bucky seems to be sticking.Wow, that was long winded of me. Now let me continue my story!My husband and I are cross-country truck drivers. My husband is the one that drives on a full-time basis, and I fill in when he doesn't have a partner. I'm a backup gal. Thanks to the fact that I don't have to go out all of the time with him, I can paint and promote my art.

When we went to Branson, we also went to pick up our new Peterbilt truck. Bucky and I decided that I could use it to advertise my blog, and at the same time design a scene for both sides of the truck (Sparky). Sparky was converted into a MOVING BILLBOARD!

I would be remiss if I didn't share it with you. It depicts Bucky contemplating while looking up at the moon and stars. And now may Sparky please show his face.................

CLOSEUP OF SPARKY

Thanks for putting up with my reminiscing about the past. I Look forward to revealing my secret on Friday - Until then - I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week - Your humble servant Veronique (just kidding)

 

 

 

 

 

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY THESE FATSOS COME OUT?

"HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WHO WAS AND IS TO COME!"

Rev. 4:8

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY TAKE 2

8"x10"

Pete - He's a nice fella.

He stands guard when I get into a mess

He is there for me when I'm happy or sad

Pete prevents me from getting into accidents

He prevents me from tripping over myself

He probably comforts me (although I don't know he's doing it)

and

When its time to be with Jesus

Pete will help me make that transition from earth to heaven!

Pete is my guardian angel...

Do not ask me whyyyyyy my angels turn out to look like these little fat rolly polly heavenly beings! My gosh! Angels are supposed to be 9ft tall, they are supposed to be strong and powerful, and what do I do. I paint Pete like a stubby, chubby cherub! Hmmmmm....

I'm going to also include my other angel (cherub) painting called, "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty Who Was and is to Come!" Rev.4:8.....Please, I just don't know why these fatsos come out! They're cute, but not heavenly..

Enjoy

Veronica

PS - I hope you all have an incredible weekend and holiday - bye - Until Monday

IT'S HERE!

 

ATTACHED

(price to be determined once I include this in my new up and coming ETSY store)

 

 

That's right! I finally brought home my baby today. Yes, I'm excited because I now officially have a decent photographer....yaaaaa!

ATTACHED has now officially come into existence. Trust me, as an artist we get excited about certain paintings. This is one. It's a larger one and that is exciting because lately I have been painting in very small formats. This is a good thing...

 

ATTACHED is a very special painting because it depicts my soulish self attached to my face. What do I mean by the soul? We are made up of a soul (all of our mundane passions and desires), and a Spirit. No, it is not the Holy Spirit.

 

So we walk through our lives with these two things that are literally in us and that when we die will go to heaven or hell. That's it. Our bodies decay, but our soul and spirit do not die!

 

Now what we do with the soul and spirit within us depends on how we lead our lives. If we only cater to mundane carnal issues, and we don't feed our spiritual side, our soul will be one big, fat rolly polly and sassy entity. If we are born again (we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts), and we begin to live a more Godly life, our Spirit will begin to get larger, larger, larger, and larger until our Soul becomes this itsy, bitsy little entity.

 

So for now this painting depicts our soul, which is attached to the front of this human's forehead.

 

I find as a human being with lots of defects I am constantly in a struggle to make my beautiful Spirit larger, and to placate the soul. It is a never ending struggle.

 

I hope you have enjoyed this peek into my heart.

 

I wish you all the best.

LIFE IN THE BIG CITY

 

 

LIFE IN THE BIG CITY

6"x6"

$50

This fella is looking a little bit frazzled. Sure he's carrying a wilted bouquet of flowers, but he just can't get his act together because he lives in the BIG CITY!

The good thing about big cities is that as I said before, there are museums, galleries, galleries and more galleries, and lots and lots of places to shop!

The good thing about a small town is that people are friendly, there are cutsie little shops, low crime, and lots of teeny tiny festivals all over the place!

So you see both are good and fun.

Enjoy

My first post on my blog

 

 

SPIRITUAL MAN GONE AMOK

Thought I would introduce myself on my new blog. I'm going to attempt to paint a painting everyday or every other day. This is going to be huge because I'm not a fast painter, so it should present an artistic challenge.

The painting seen above is not a painting a day, but I thought it would be good to download some of my artwork in the meantime.
