Night Rider

Here is a painting I did at art camp years ago in NJ.  It’s called “Night Rider.”  It was inspired by my love for riding horses.  I used to ride in the English style at a place called Seaton Hackney Stables with my Mom when I was little.  I set it at night because there is something so serene and quiet about being out in the nighttime world.  It hangs in my Grandpa Schott’s house in NJ.  He is a treasured being, having spent his life being an inventor at Bell Labs and still life painter on the side.  He always has helped me out with my various art projects.  I used acrylic paints for this piece.  I love what a brush dipped in color can bring to the world.  Fanciful musings on canvas.  Art is love, beauty, and prayer for our souls.  Have a blessed weekend fellow artists!

Life of a Performer

Posted by

Fame winds itself around many

And then none are taken.

 

Swept past the brink,

Jazzed by the oncoming

Rain,

Poisoned in the acid downpour.

 

The life of a performer,

Revolving doors in full

Swing.

 

Curtailed by the sweet

Taste of air,

A breath taken in,

Moment to relieve oneself

Of the approaching pain.

 

Head-on collision with ugliness,

Fallen away in

The soaked eyes closing

Themselves down for the

Night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sound Tent!

I’ve been singing for awhile and playing violin even longer.  It was great to finally set up a sound tent with my boyfriend, who is a guitarist.  He met a guy whose brother owns the largest independent record label in Nashville.  We’re going to send a 3-song demo to the label.  It wasn’t actually too difficult to build the sound tent for recording.  The only challenge was inserting grommets into three black moving blankets.  We bought some PVC piping from Lowe’s and shower curtain handles for cheap.  The setup took about an hour and a half.  I’m hoping to take my music to the next level!
