Daily Inspiration

I have three smaller painting that ARE NOT for sale but I would love to do a personal one just for you!


The first one is one on family! No, I did not steal the quote from a disney movie that most of us should know! This one was an experiment gone right! Too much paint got on the canvas and i took some of it off and we got this effect! I added the boarder jut to finish it off!
"Family: means no one gets left behind or forgetten" by David Ogden Stiers

 This one has been sold and has a new home but it serves another style to show to you guys. The idea behind was that the eyes show the soul and when someone is on fire with desire you can plainly see it! So I started with a simple eye and added the fire with many colors added into the skin tone.
"The starting point to achievement is desire" by Napoleon Hill

This one here just recently found a home as well. It was a particular challenge because of the hands. I usually stick with things that have a little bit of wiggle room but it was definitely worth it! the only colors in this painting are gray scale and skin texture. This quote is one of my all time favorites because love has carried me through so much.

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." by Lau Tzu


If you guys would like any specialized quotes go ahead and send me a message and I can do something unique for you! There will never be anything like it! My email is 4l0v3andart@gmail.com

I have another 3 or 4 ideas for the inspirational quotes that I hope to start shortly!

Show Your Pride

While this painting IS NOT for sale, it is an example of a line of LGBT paintings that is customizable to each person all the way down to the graphic design that accompanies the lovely flag and up to three words of your choice that fits you to a tee.
This specific one shows the love and acceptance of Trans and the relationship of two female hearts.  This particular one is 18 by 24 inches. Anyone similar size would run $45. A 12 by 20 would run about $30. This can be discussed in more detail via email.
As stated above it can be customized to fit you in everyway. It would be an honor to do one of these pieces for you to display proudly as this one does already.
Thank you for your time and attention. Thank you for those who are just taking a peak, as always you have a place in my heart! Comments and messages are encouraged!
With love

A small taste between realism and abstract

This price IS for sale. It is 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide. I would call it "Departed Abode".

It is an abstract building based off the print below. I had no luck in the search of the original artist but I took one of his beautiful buildings and placed it on an aged parchment background. It features burn spots black edges and left it to a little piece of history as if it should always be remembered!

Given the size of this piece it is going for $125 but with the right home and love the price can be worked on. I truly hope it finds a warm living home that will cherish it.
As always thank you for your time. If you are simply browsing thank you as well. Those that enjoy art of any kind have a special place in my heart! Feel free to contact me at the Web address following if it Sparks your interest. Comments and shares are appreciated.

A Short Introduction

Hello and welcome to my gallery in the making.

In everyone there is a mix of darkness and light and it find its way out through forms of expression. My form is acrylic paint. As a self professed art nerd, this is my way.

Art found its way into my heart freshman year of high school. After bring taken out of choir and put into a reading class, I found no desire to join choir again. Instead I found myself in a room that had changed my life and also saved it a couple times. It was the schools art room. It took three years to find my love for acrylic but now it is something  that should be shared among many.

I an stuck somewhere between the realm of abstract and concrete. It is a style that leaves your mind room to create some deep meaning for yourself but also enough concrete image to just be viewed on more shallow levels.

Shortly I will be posting pictures with a synopsis of how it came to be and what they mean to me. Hopefully you will find your own meaning and be able to hang it in your home. All of the paintings posted on here ARE for sale. If you are interested, you may contract me via email and we can discuss further!

Thank you for your time!
