A night to reflect on your dreams,

A night to remember your past,

A night to look up to the sky,

our

earth.

BACK FROM A MENTAL VACATION! YAAAAAAA

WHO RULES?

_____________

HMMMMMMM....

How is everyone?

Hope you are all chipper and ready for my next

very very special painting.

BUT

First of all,

let me pay tribute to a group of incredible

and

profound individuals

and

their wonderful blogs!

They are:

LINDA LEHMAN

JANET CAMPBELL

HAMMELMAN ART

LIN

FLIGHTY SONGBIRD

and

last but definitely not least ..... my fellow Phoenician...

WATERROSE

Many thanks to all of you for commenting on my previous post.

It was a very difficult post to put into words and to show.

You are all a special group to attack it straight on....

Congratulations!

I strongly urge everyone else to visit these blogs.

They'll appreciate it.

Thank you.

_________________________

Ok now,

Why the mental vacation?

Because I needed it....

That's all...

That was short and simple! :)

Enjoy "WHO RULES?"

It's lighter and airier than my previous post.

I suppose I could say it is a battle between

MAN and NATURE...

That doesn't sound too light and airy...

Does it?

Sorry...I can't help it.

It's just ESCUDERO at work.

I wish you all an incredible weekend.

HURRY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

HURRY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

I HEAR FOOTSTEPS
THEY ARE BEHIND ME
THEY ARE MOVING

FASTER
FASTER
FASTER
NO, THEY SLOWED DOWN...
BUT

THEY ARE BEGINNING TO WALK
FASTER
FASTER
AND

FASTER
THEY ARE CATCHING UP TO ME
THEY ARE MOVING

FASTER
FASTER
AND
FASTER?


WE SPEND OUR WHOLE LIVES TRYING TO STAY ALIVE!

ASSERT YOURSELVES!

ASSERT YOURSELVES!

Hi everyone! So happy to be back after the hectic holidays...

This post is a great one to start the new year.

Lets all gather together and make this year the most wonderful 2009.

We can start by cleaning up our spiritual and physical selves.

We can start by asserting ourselves in whatever aspect we are

weak.

We can start by claiming that we will all become stronger

spiritually,

and

that we will stand tall no matter what happens in our lives.

Yes, this is what these two little fellas in this painting are

NOT doing!

They are simply blending in with their world.

They are too frightened to assert themselves!

Fear is our worst enemy.

Soooooo

lets leave these little soft and mushy fellas behind

and

ASSERT ourselves for 2009!

Our dreams can come true!

IS ANYONE OUT THERE?

IS ANYONE OUT THERE?

OLD CHIMP IS ALONE IN THE WORLD

BUT HE KNOWS THAT THERE ARE MANY MANY PEOPLE IN

THE WORLD

HE KNOWS THAT THERE IS A HUSTLE AND

BUSTLE IN WHAT WE CALL STREETS,

A HUSTLE AND BUSTLE IN WHAT WE CALL HOMES

(NOT JUNGLES),

A HUSTLE AND BUSTLE IN WHAT WE CALL LIFE!

YES, CHIMP KNOWS THAT EVEN THOUGH HE IS ALONE IN

HIS WONDERFULLY LUSCIOUS, GREEN JUNGLE

HE IS NOT REALLY ALONE....

SO IN HIS CHIMPY, BOUNCY WAY,

HE WANTS TO WISH

YOU ALLLLLLLL HUMANOIDS

A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

MAY YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL

2009!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

 

 

 

FRIDA

(English Bulldog)

 

 

LULU
(Chihuahua)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!



Frida and Lulu want to wish you a wonderful
Christmas and a Happy New Year....
Unfortunately Frida has been caught unaware at the

moment...
She thinks she's a Christmas present,
but she too, when she wakes up from her make believe world,
hopes to get around to wish you ALL a

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Lulu is the spunkiest and newest edition to our family.

I have never introduced her to you,

so for this very reason she

is taking it soooooo

seriously!!!!! :)

So on behalf of the Christmas present

and

Ms. Intensity

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

*******



Oh, I forgot to mention that I too wish you the most wonderful

Christmas and New Year.
May God bless you all in this year to come.

HUMAN COMPLEXITIES...

HUMAN COMPLEXITIES
6"x6"


HE HE HE HE HE HE

Hi everyone!

The reason why I am finding this painting a little amusing is because unfortunately the way I paint doesn't give me the freedom to be thematic at will.

Sooooo....the only thing that I can say about HUMAN COMPLEXITIES is that I want to offer it to all of you as my
CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOU....

This is why I posted it for you despite the fact that it is not Christmasy at ALL!!!!

I like it a lot so it's very special to me,
and
I just wanted to share it with you.

My previous painting called A VERY SPECIAL TRIO was conceptual to an extent. I had to slightly preconceive the painting because it was a gift, and I wanted the ladies to relate to their portraits at the table.

Woooooo was that ever a struggle! I'm surprised that it turned out at all because I simply don't enjoy knowing what I'm going to paint. After this painting I decided that I wasn't ever going to do that again. The only exception would be if I was commissioned to paint another mural. I've done some before where I had to be kind of conceptual.

Sooooo in conclusion this is why you will not see a Madonna w/child, a Santa Claus, or whatever Christmas theme you can imagine on my site. If I ever paint these it will be done in my usual manner, and it might be painted after the 24th or whatever.

For example - GOBBLE GOBBLE just so happened to come out, and I assigned it to Thanksgiving.

I just thought that you would be a little interested to know about my creative process.

OK, getting sleepy - Enjoy

A VERY SPECIAL TRIO

A VERY SPECIAL TRIO
10"x8"

I want to introduce Ann (left), Carol (middle) and Margaret to the right. These ladies are the most incredible quilters. Maybe I should call them MASTER QUILTERS. This title suits them better.

Yes, like I said in my last post, every Thursday morning @ 9a.m. I make my way over to the Lutheran church, and I always find the most beautiful ladies quilting away. They will quilt a complete bedspread for anyone, charge a minimal amount, and then donate it to a family or person in need. Talk about back braking work!

It was always my dream to live in Lancaster, PA because I wanted to live near the Amish, and I wanted to learn how to quilt. Well, my dream came true, and now you can find me in a wonderful little town near Lancaster. I met these incredible quilters, and they are so kind to be teaching me, so for Christmas I decided to give them a painting! This little jewel is the result. I think it's very special because it's meant for A VERY SPECIAL TRIO!

Hope you enjoy it.

P.S. Shhhhhhh don't tell the ladies.....it's supposed to be a surprise! :)

STAY TUNED FOR TOMORROW...

Hi everyone! It's nice to just talk to you from time to time. I simply want to thank you for your moral support as an artist. You have been incredible!

I also want to give you a sneak peak into my life on Thursday mornings @ 9:00 a.m. (that's if I get up that early) So stay tuned for a very special post tomorrow.

I hope that everyone has been working like busy bees to get ready for Christmas. I've almost completed my shopping, so I am doing reeeeeaaaaaaalllllll good. Take care of yourselves.

See ya tomorrow :)

"SHOO FLY PIE"

is the first of his bug series.

__________
"THE FLIES ON THE WALL CAN TALK...
AND FORENSIC ENTOMOLOGIST NICK POLCHAK IS LISTENING.

In a remote county of North Carolina, thirty-year-old Kathryn Guilford receives the news that her long-time friend and one-time suitor is dead. The authorities declare the death a suicide, but Katheryn is not convinced. In desperation she turns to Dr. Nick Polchak, the Bug Man, to help her learn the truth-and she is introduced to a mysterious world of blood-seeking flies and flesh-eating beetles..."

DUH!!!!!

DUH! 6"x6"


DUH lives his boring life in a DUH home

He's clueless to anything beyond the 4 walls

that surround him on a daily basis.

He eats DUH food

He dresses in DUH clothes

and of course

He watches the DUH TV

He never ever

reads

or

listens

to the news

but

he loves

to sit

and

contemplate DUH thoughts.

DUH is quite content with another DUH life...

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

THE DAWN CELEBRATES

ONE DESERT DAY...

ONE DESERT DAY
6"x6"



I just want you to pause for a few seconds and just contemplate the serenity of this painting.

I thought that it would be good to change my format for this one post,

because I understand that we are going through troubled times,

and that it's not easy to get past tomorrow...

The only comment about the election is that I ask that we all stay united!

Lets not let this election divide us as a nation...

We are ONE NATION

Lets treat each other with love and respect...

Now lets go out and vote!

I wish you the best.

Veronica
