THE MARTYRS

THE MARTYRS



So much suffering endured throughout the ages
 The Martyrs lacked the necessary freedom to believe in God
They lacked the freedom to express themselves

They didn't care about government law
They only cared about dying for their one and only true Savior,
Jesus Christ.

It is heartbreaking to have painted this canvas.
There was a tear with every brush stroke
Tears in honor of
THE MARTYRS

ESCUDERO WEEPS

ESCUDERO WEEPS
28X36"


My exhibit is still up for the rest of this week.
I think what I plan on doing is to feature a different painting that is currently hung up in the gallery throughout the week.

This one is one of my favorite oil pastel drawings.  It is on Fabriano 300 lb watercolor paper.  A lot of luscious purples, reds, blues...color and more color. 
The little figure at the bottom of the page has a broken heart.
It's an endearing piece.

Father's Day - A Gift for my Hubby

AGAPE LOVE



 
WHAT ARE HUBBIES MADE FOR?

TO BE THERE WHEN WE ARE UNDER THE WEATHER
TO LAUGH WHEN WE SUPPOSEDLY SAY A JOKE
TO SAY I LOVE YOU FROM TIME TO TIME
TO ALWAYS SAY WE LOOK BEAUTIFUL!

TO BE THERE FOR US WHEN WE ARE SICK AND UGH...CONTAGIOUS

TO JUST BE THERE

TO SING WHEN ALL IS NOT WELL
TO BE OUR PRAYER PARTNER AT ALL TIMES
TO BE THE FATHER OF MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER

YES, I KNOW,  TO BE MY FIXER UPPER (TRADITIONAL ROLE)

TO...UMMMMM...COOK FOR US!
(I LOVE THAT ONE THAT'S FOR SURE)

TO BE MY PARTNER EVEN WHEN WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED
A CAGILLION YEARS

TO BE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

YES

THAT'S

WHAT

HUBBIES

ARE

MADE

FOR.

 

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY BUCKY!
 
 
 
 
 
"Agape Love" is the true meaning of love.  You can't reach "Agape Love" when you first start your life of bliss with your hubby.  It begins to manifest itself when you have journeyed together during the difficult and fun times.  Then and only then can you say that your love for your husband is AGAPE LOVE.

FRIDA KAHLO - AN ICON?

ICON, SAINT OR HUMAN?  FRIDA...HUMAN




Frida, I feel so sorry that you had to endure so much suffering.
You were definitely not respected as an artist,
and you seemed to play a secondary role next to Diego Rivera.

Today you are currently more popular than Diego Rivera,
You are consistently and obsessively being painted,
and you are an Icon for female artists.

Now why in the world did I follow the pack of worshippers and force your image
(once again) to be birthed on earth?

Sorry Frida, it was a commission.
What an excuse.
  I too love your indigenous look.
I love the huipil dresses that you wore,
I love the festive braids posed on your head,
I love your persona,
I love your passion for love and life, manifested in your art,
but I don't love your politics at all.

I am sooooo guilty of possessing watches, t-shirts, purses, etc. with Frida Kahlo's image on all of them.
Ok, I'm guilty but as an artist it saddens me to see that we consistently desecrate her image.
Can't we leave her alone? 
Can't we just appreciate her art?
This one factor troubles me.
Frida Kahlo was not an Icon
nor
was she a Saint!
Frida was and is simply a human. 
We are the guilty ones that insist on putting her on a pedestal.

When have you ever heard of artists painting the image of a deceased artist?
Usually we love and appreciate their art and that is it!

But no we insist on painting her over and over again.
My gosh, when will we stop?

Escudero:  GUILTY

Big Brother Out of Control

Big Brother Out of Control


It breaks my heart to have to present this painting as my first blog in a long time. Unfortunately, it has been in existence for one year.


Circumstances...life...have been an emotional stumbling block for Escudero to come out of her protected and spiritual cocoon. I am concerned about my beloved country, I am deeply concerned about the spiritual decadence, and the ever present governing body of this nation.


Thank God for the Tea Party participants and for the Americans who FINALLY woke up to President Obama's preconceived participatory demise of this nation.


There is something in me that wants to think optimistically about the outcome of the November elections, but then again, I have read biblical prophecy re the end times and it's not looking good at all. This thought only increases my need/desire to pray for our people who have not accepted Jesus into their hearts.


It is not a time to be drunk with deception; it is a time to become sober in mind, spirit and body. It is a time to open up our hearts to the idea that maybe there is a God, maybe there is a heaven and a hell, and maybe we have been too dependent on our government. I don't just want us to rise up and join the tea parties, I want us to also reach out to Jesus our Savior! We need to pray for this nation and for the people who are living in a godless society. Lets change! I mean really change!


"Big Brother Out of Control"


Speaks precisely about what I just mentioned. President Obama (government)


is strangling FREEDOM (a red bird)...


Observe it carefully...


Don't be deceived by its brilliant color


and


design.


Reality always exists beneath a cushioned


exterior.


This drawing can be found in my Etsy store - http://www.etsy.veezart.com/


I currently have a few prints left of this drawing.

Stand Still.....


While I stand still,


nothing moves,


nothing waivers,


shhhhh


don't touch the water!


Let it stand still...


shhhhh


Don't splash!


Let it stand still.


Silence...


Blessed silence.



When I walk,


all things stand still


Shhhhh


Don't make any waves...


stand still...

TWEETS AND FACEBOOK

Hi everyone!

So happy to finally be able to post.

I hope that you have all kept yourselves very very busy,

because I have been running around chasing my tail from one state to another.


Well, it looks like I've joined the

Twitter and Facebook

bandwagon.


I'm really having fun expressing myself on Twitter.

Please feel free to join me there.

It'll be fun to hear from you.


I have the links at the bottom of this page.


Take care of yourselves.


By the way,

I have a drawing

I have a drawing!!!!

Miracles do happen.


and


it's a very controversial subject matter.

Sooooooo you'll hear from me during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Until then.....

See you later....


May God bless you all.

Lets Take Advantage of Every Moment we Have :)

Well, well, well.....

It's hard to believe that I am actually writing to my favorite bloggers...

YOU!!!!!!


It has been quite a while since I had the time to verbalize my appreciation for my dear friends.
So lets take advantage of every moment I have.


It seems that I will be a gypsy for the rest of this year and prob part of next.
Yes, I suppose this is where I am in life today.


What I have decided to do is to twitter with frequency, and I hope that the majority of you will visit me while I travel the far reaches of this earth (just joking).


I hope to post a drawing on Monday if possible. It looks like we might just be in town for one day because we are running late as it is, so wish me the best on the posting.


This drawing is very special. I'm sorry to say that it turned out to be very strong politically speaking. But, what can I say, that's how it came out. Actually it's tragic.
So I'll explain it later when I post it, and then see if you can stomach my view.


By the way, don't think that I have been prolific with my ptg/drawing.
Nope!!!!!
Can you believe it? I have only finished ONE drawing since I last spoke with you.
Woops!!!!


Ok, I'll bring my pencils, etc. with me again. It's just very very difficult to draw in such cramped quarters, but I'll try again.


Take care of yourselves
and
May God bless all of you.


NOTE: I'll setup my Twitter icon when I post the drawing. I frankly don't know how to do that yet. Bye.
