Post 232: These are a Few of My (PWAS Member) Favorite Things

These are a Few of My (PWAS Member) Favorite Things

Sing along with me now, "These are a few of my favorite things..." Can't sing like Julie Andrews? 

A few PWAS members noted some favorite things with art...

Fatima Farzana

Abstract painting is my favorite way to express imagination and emotion. For me, painting is a soul-searching journey!

Linda Nedilsky

I enjoy drawing or painting many subjects, but my favorite subjects are pet portraits. Many of my commission pieces are done in memory of a lost pet. I have had many dogs in my life and losing them is like losing a very close friend or family member. Providing a portrait for the owner is a way of giving them something they can remember their pets for years to come. In addition I have donated a gift certificate  for a pet portrait to support various animal rescue programs around the country.

CJ Davis

I am CJ Davis, a Mexican American artist working out of the PWC area.

My favorite things to paint are portraits and medical items. I like to explore these themes because of my chronic pain and struggle with mental illness. I believe it is important to speak about it, and empower those with disabilities. My portraiture reflects people in my life who are important to me, especially in my family. I am Mexican, and our culture deeply believes in revering family and ancestors. I paint my abuela (grandmother), as she is the matriarch of our family, and an inspiration to me. cjdavisart.com

Some may say I like painting mini paintings and I do paint a lot of them. Last year I bought a case of 100 3x4 mini canvases and soon after purchased another case. They do sell well usually and I include the mini easels. It is actually fun coming up with the variety of images and ideas to paint and occasionally I am surprised when certain ones sell! They can range in price from $25 to 28 each depending on how much work goes into them.
