Its Been SO Long!

It’s been SO long
since
I have posted! 

In fact, it’s been SO long since I felt any creative energy artistically rising within.

I went through a period of feeling smothered by imagery of social media and uninspired to create anything new. 

I have always been artistically inclined and was at a complete loss for why I didn’t want to create art.

Lately I have felt the spark deep within my belly slowly start to burn. 

Slowly start to rise. 

I have been slowly bringing myself back to my art.

My hope is to share my work again soon. 

These are some Mandalas I felt drawn to create.

Rise up. 

Express your self through your gift. 

Let the universe express itself through you 💗

Orchids For Candace

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

Lone Wolf

"To look into the eyes of a wolf is to see your soul. Just be sure something you want to view is there."

Self Portrait

Cheryl Todd Shergold Self Portrait

A self portrait completed referencing an image of myself that was taken in 1987. The world seemed to be a simpler place. We didn't seem to realize what our blatant disrespect of nature would cost us. I painted this portrait to show the sadness I feel that we, as a society, and all of our knowledge...still are not listening to Mother Nature.

Gorilla House and Friends

On October 16th I went to Gorilla House Live Art to go see my painter friend Kathleen Moors. I am always in awe of the community of artists that connect in the house! Kathleen is one of those people that makes you feel as though you have been friends forever! I was blessed and won both of her pieces in the live auction! I have given her great people a home and permanent place in my studio. I am hoping to get to know their spirits on a higher level!

Affirmation Cards

Today's task was to make affirmation cards to place in my creative space. I "up-cycled" some older watercolour adventures for the cause! I am off today to go buy a clothesline and clothes pins so that I can hang them in my space! I am truly enjoying this e-course!
