TELL IT HOW IT IS

 


9"x12"
TELL IT HOW IT IS
 
 
IT'S LOOKING A LITTLE CROWDED IN THIS OCEAN!
 
I RECENTLY SAW A DOCUMENTARY RE MERMAIDS...
OUCH!
TALK ABOUT CHANGING MY WORLD!
 
IS THERE ANY MORE ROOM FOR ANOTHER CREATURE
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN?
 
AND
 
THEN TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE
THIS CREATURE
SUPPOSEDLY HAS DNA SIMILAR TO OURS????
 
WHAT'S NEXT?

PALEEZ...GET A LIFE MA!

  

 

 
 
 
 
 My name is Bella...
and
I have a very serious problem!
Everyday my ma asks me to perform!
Yes, I said it right!
 
I'm told to sit up and to stay in that position
because she thinks I'm cute when I do this.
Well, I let her think that it doesn't bother me at all.
She sits there and rubs my head/ears,
she smiles with the same ole smile that she had yesterday,
and then when she finally finishes admiring my beauty
she tells me, "down".
 
Ma, paleez,
I've got better things to worry about!
I have to keep abreast of all of my political and spiritual concerns.   If I don't, then who is going to worry about the utter chaos that exists today?
 
***
It is:
 
Financial uncertainty for this nation, 
Political scandals that never cease to amaze me, 
Unscientific theories of evolution
(TRUST ME MA I DIDN'T EVOLVE FROM A MONKEY!),
The Auschwitz like murdering of babies, 
An abnormal form of cohabitation, 
and 
Social and Spiritual upheaval!
Oh, and did I mention that ETs are coming to visit this earth?
 
***
 
Is this world getting any better even though the liberal/atheistic social, financial and spiritual agendas have become realized?
 
Anarchy has been initiated...
 
What's next?
 
So paleez Ma...
PUT ME DOWN!
Try to be considerate of me.
I need to hold up the world...
and the U.S. Constitution.
 
 
P.S. Please join me to pray for our beautiful nation.  Bella is right.  My heart is broken.
        Veronica

BUBBLES...

Bubbles
8-1/2 x 11"
 
 
Bubbles is a friendly fella.
He spends his entire day
observing the world.
 
Sometimes he's amazed at what transpires;
 
"Ouch my bubble might P..O..P.."
 
So on he goes.
He continues to watch out for the thorns and thistles
that might pop his bubble.
 
He has to be careful with such prickly things.
 
Hmmmmmmmm.....
 
There are sure a lot of them.
 
Poor Bubbles, I don't know how long he'll be able to avoid them.
Oh well, he's bobbing along his bubbly way
making the best of his bubbly life.
 
Are you a Bubbles?
 
__________
 
I have begun a new series of drawings.  They are drawn with a marker and colored with crayons on 8-1/2 x 11" printer paper.  The series is called "Fun Series".  They are simple, fun and whimsical.  I thought it was time to lighten up.  Judging from the above, I don't think I succeeded re the subject matter.  Oh well...
 
They will soon be found in my www.veezart.etsy.com store.

HELP!

 
 
 
HELP!
8-1/2 x 11"
Crayon
 
 
There comes a time when
it's just necessary to scream out for
HELP!
I thank God for my art
because this painting is a result of
seeking
HELP!
So...
If you find that you must scream out
HELP!
I will be more than happy to accomodate
your sentiments.
 
This little fella will be there for 
YOU.

A LONELY PAINT BRUSH






AS AN ARTIST I STILL QUESTION THE VALIDITY
OF A PAINTING.
 I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL OR GROTESQUE,
BUT MY QUESTION STILL REMAINS...
"DOES ART FEED THE HUNGRY AND THE DESTITUTE"?

IT HAS BEEN SOOOOO DIFFICULT TO RECONCILE THE FACT THAT
I WAS BORN TO PAINT, AND BY DOING THIS
I WOULD MINISTER TO THE PUBLIC.

UNFORTUNATELY ART DOES NOT HELP THE POOR IN NEED,
IT MIGHT MINISTER IN A SPIRITUAL WAY
BUT IN MY LIMITED CAPACITY AS AN ARTIST...
I CAN'T SEE HOW IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

I'M SIMPLY EXPOSING MY DEEPEST FEELINGS BECAUSE MAYBE THERE
IS SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE NOT
ALONE.

I'M A CHRISTIAN ARTIST WHO IS ATTEMPTING TO WALK THE
NARROW AND LONG PATH TO GOD VIA ART.

IT'S A LONG AND LONELY PATH TO THE FATHER...
BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN I WILL BE BY MYSELF
WHEN I TAKE THAT FINAL STEP OFF THE PATH OF LIFE.
AND
I MEET THE CREATOR.
HE WILL REQUEST FOR ME TO RECALL WHAT I DID WITH HIS
GIFT OF ART.

THIS WILL BE TOUGH,
BUT I WANT TO ANSWER
AND
SAY
"I TRIED"

SO FOR NOW
I SUPPOSE I'LL CONTINUE TO BE THAT LONELY PAINT BRUSH
THAT WILL CONTINUE TO PAINT ONLY
WHAT MY
ABBA FATHER WANTS ME TO PAINT.

MAY THE JOURNEY UNFOLD.

A CHILD'S WORDS OF WISDOM...




DURING AN EXAMINATION,
THE DOCTOR WAS TRYING TO MAKE A NERVOUS GIRL FEEL
COMFORTABLE.
LOOKING DOWN HER THROAT,
HE ASKED,
DO YOU THINK I'LL FIND THE COOKIE MONSTER DOWN THERE?
THE LITTLE GIRL WAS PUZZLED AND DID NOT RESPOND.

THEN HE PUT A STETHOSCOPE TO HER CHEST TO LISTEN TO HER HEARTBEAT
AND ASKED,
"DO YOU THINK I'LL HEAR GROVER GROWLING IN THERE?"
BECOMING MORE CONFUSED, SHE LOOKED AT HER MOTHER WONDERING
HOW TO RESPOND.

FINALLY, HE LOOKED INTO HER EARS AND SAID, "I WONDER IF I'M GOING TO SEE BARNEY INSIDE?"

PERPLEXED, SHE LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID,
"I DON'T THINK YOU'LL FIND THE COOKIE MONSTER INSIDE ME,
BUT THERE ARE PROBABLY A FEW FRENCH FRIES FROM LUNCH,
AND
BARNEY'S ON MY SLACKS AS YOU CAN PLAINLY SEE,
AND

THERE IS NO ROOM FOR GROVER IN MY HEART.
I OPENED IT UP TO JESUS AND HE LIVES THERE NOW.

MY PRAYERS FOR ALL...




UGH! WHERE'S THE SUN?
Drawing
5-3/4 x 10-1/4"



First of all, I want to tell all Irene hurricane victims
and
all future hurricane victims yet to come...
that you are in my prayers.

You are a strong people!
You endure so many hardships with valor and courage.
I am amazed to witness the energy and bravery that the American people have.

Who said that Americans are wimps?  Huh!!!!
I am the wimp!
Yes, I admit it and it's ok to be a wimp. 
I was brought up in the Arizona blazing desert. 
Beautiful blue and treeless mountains surrounded my home.
There were saguaros, roadrunners, and everything crawly that is from the desert.

As a child I loooooovvvveeeeeddddd riding my bike under these extreme conditions.

I always thought that most of the United States was cloaked in this hot and sleepy environment.
Never did I imagine that so much adversity existed in most of the United States. 

HURRICANES...
TORNADOES...
EARTHQUAKES...
SNOW STORMS...

After I became a truck driver with my husband we began to visit our wonderful nation.
but.....
then....
I discovered that we literally had to play a dodge game just to get across the nation
without getting hit by some extreme weather!

Ouch!  Was that a rude awakening.

What amazed me back then and now is that people do not move from their birth land
just because of adverse weather.
They stick it out no matter what mother nature brings their way.

Wow!

I'm still amazed because at this moment I live in an area that gets hit by extreme weather,
and
I find myself
SCREAMING
COMPLAINING
AND
SQUEALING
ALL THE WAY HOME.... :)

Yes, talk about being a wimp.

So my deep respect and love to the majority of the Americans that suffer and endure
no matter what living conditions they may find themselves in. 

It also tells me that the family bond is NOT dead.
We continue to want to be near our loved ones, no matter what life may bring our way.

Fortunately to me my native land is Arizona
and
God willing I will be there once again this year.
and
this time I will not budge.

My love to you all and may God bless you.

- Veronica

Remember the time...?



Home Sweet Home
6-5/8 x 8-1/2"


Remember the time when it was a make-believe world?

Remember when we actually thought that we had freedom?

Remember the time when we would wake up to a sunny day and only wonder what we were going to eat for dinner?

Remember when we would run out of the house in our shorts
and
carelessly go and skate or play with our neighbors?

Remember the time when the most that the nation cared about was reporting about the sassy American tourists abroad?

Do you remember when you could actually say

HOME SWEET HOME?

SUNNY ARIZONA...

 
 
HOW LONG WILL IT BE?
6"X 6"
 
 

It's almost time to move back to my native State, Arizona.

It has been too long since I've been gone.

EIGHT YEARS BRAVING THE SNOW, TORNADOES AND EXPERIENCING TOO MUCH RAIN.

Miss you Arizona,

but

I'll be there soon. 

What a pleasure to wake up in the morning to your shininess,

to your surrounding Saguaros,

to your lizards running all around,

to  your jackrabbits that are absolutely outlandish!

I've never seen bunnys with such big ears.

(What's up doc?)

I'll wake up to the clear and blue sun almost all year round...

I'll be able to view the hairless/treeless mountains (love it)

Yes, I'm a desert rat!

Wait for me Arizona - I'm almost there! 

:)
