Originals in Healing And Transformation Auctionp

The last few months have been such a struggle. I have fallen out of step with myself. I am not sure if it is my age (turned 51 this year) or my kid’s age (13 and 16) or that I feel like a huge transformation is coming.  Maybe it is noticeable in art, maybe it isn’t. I can’t tell because  I am too close to it.   My girls are becoming so independent; these amazing, opinionated, goal orientated people. They are not mini me’s or mini Chris’, they are their own people. They have their own likes, their own thoughts, their own style …I mean, they always did but it has become so much more apparent as of late.  They are getting ready to leave me, they are preparing themselves for schools they want to go to and  cities they want to live in.  I am happy for them but I am sad too. I just wish that they could stay this age a little longer. I know that I have always wished this, at every age, but I want them to stay with me a little longer. I think that is why I found it really hard to work this summer. I wanted to spend all of my time with them, drinking in all of this special togetherness that we have right now. I know how fleeting this time is. I try to live in the moment, but I’ve never been good at it.   I know we have a bond that will never break, I know that red string  can go on stretching forever, I know all of these things. I also know that as they transform themselves, I too am going to have to transform myself. These are the growing pains that I am feeling right now. That is how life works. That is the beauty of being alive.  I will transform, I will heal and I will transform again.

The following paintings are the originals that will be up for Auction for the rapidly approaching Healing And Transformation online auction. The auction is on Facebook and begins Sept 21 at NOON Eastern time  and goes until Sept 28. The actual schedule is a surprise, so you’ll need to pop in each day to find out who is up next! ( I may or may not be the last artist on the last day Sept 27 ?)

There will also be a wrap up party at the end! This is always a lot of fun, so don’t miss out.

If you would like an invite there is still time or just go here to join… https://www.facebook.com/events/225053015095371/

Registration is Open for PYHAS 2020

Nesting is the painting that I taught for last year’s PYHAS course. I also did a floral course that will be coming soon in PYHAS2019. I had so much fun seeing the results of this painting class. The paintings that were created were absolutely beautiful.

Some things people said  about my lesson:

“This is a fabulous lesson. I am trying to get the courage up to try it. So many beautiful paintings are being created and watching Maria Pace-Wynters paint and draw is delightful! Today I will at least get out some inks and see what colors I have. Finish watching the lesson And look at all your beautiful work again !”

Hello Everyone!

Not only am I thrilled to be a part of this amazing team of teachers, I am so excited to be able to  give away one free spot in this course to one of you awesome people that support me and allow me to do what I love most in the world; create art.

I will announce the lucky winner on October 3 (my wedding anniversary).

Just a reminder, LET’S FACE IT is a course created and hosted by Kara Bullock. It is for anyone that wants to practice creating portraits and figurative art, but is especially designed for those of you that have felt scared or intimidated to do so at some point in your life. Together, we want to share with you our strategies, tips, and techniques that we use in order to create our portrait and figurative artwork. You will leave this course feeling confident enough in your skills to never feel intimidated again. In 2020, we will be studying style development and the course will equally focus on portraits AND figures! I personally  will be teaching a figurative piece which is something I don’t do as frequently as portraits so it will be a learning experience for me too!

Faith In what You Cannot See

This is a 8″x16″ mixed media painting on wood. The sides are 1.5″ deep and are painted red.

This painting will be available in the upcoming online auction Healing and Transformation with Stephanie Gagos. If you would like more info about how to take part in this auction follow this link HERE.

This summer has been a bit challenging for me creatively. Sometimes it is hard to have faith that just because inspiration is not knocking at your door  doesn’t mean that it isn’t out the door and maybe down the street and possibly even  around the corner. Sometimes you have to walk out that door into the unknown and keep going until …oh look… there they are… inspiration is right there just sitting on a park bench under the moonlight, eating a sandwich looking at you like: “I’ve just been here chilling out, why are you so rattled?” It is hard to explain to inspiration that when they run off like that, the first thing that goes through your mind is that you’ve lost them forever. What if they never comes back? What if that is it? What if we’ve tapped that inspiration well dry?

Me: Don’t run off on me like that again.

Inspiration: Oh, I will, you know I will. I have a mind of my own, you know. I go when and where I want. You can’t control me but you will always find me. Next time you just have to have faith that the times you cannot see me are actually just as important as the times when I am right in front of your nose.

Me: I know, I know.

Inspiration: Will you remember that next time and not freak out?

Me: Probably not.

Inspiration: (shakes head and take a another bite of their sandwich)
