Isaiah 54:17 New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁷No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.

Betwixt Faith and Doubt

Who Am I Now?

For Not All Wounds Run Red

Lesions, Cut, Gash Laceration, Tear and Slash ~~ |||| Kin to abandonment and betrayal

Internal abrasions and bruise less seen but more damage done.

Exile first from the Garden then not able to enter the Promised Land

Lighting and Thunder Shooting Out of white fluffy cumulus clouds

These Be the Remaining Elements Shattered in Steel

Composing Fractured Skull Moments

Welcome to My Creation Station

Mixed Media Photo Collages

Folk Art Meets Abstract Expressionism

Some of my artistic inspiration comes from the Artist Mark Rothko coupled with the world of Alice in Wonderland. Of course as a novice painter I’m still finding my style as well as the technique most suitable for me.

Nurt Thursday – Your Energy

Artworks in Progress

Here are two collages that I’m working on at the moment. These might be more abstract surrealist paintings than collages but I will still incorporate some picture/photo elements into each.

Right now they are unfinished but I’m not in any hurry. It is just a pleasure and a great deal of fun to work on them. Not really work at all but a creative and enjoyable activity that is relaxing and fun. Very therapeutic.

Allows plenty of room to experiment and just try different painting hacks. Makes me happy to have something in the pipeline. Another way to express my creativity by combining two hobbies that I Love; photography and collages.

My New Look ~~ Wakanda Warrior Woman

My New Look ~~ Wakanda Warrior Woman

Well Folks I’ve decided to embrace my gray/grey hair and the aging process. Yes I cut off all my hair very short something like the Warrior Women of Wakanda. My hair has undergone the changes of menopause, aging, stress, illness and disability resulting in thinning and hair loss. Those women over 50 understand what I’m talking about. If you are not yet 50 don’t worry age will catch up to you.

BTW, No I am not going to discuss my chronic illness and disabilities. That includes my vision loss. It is what it is. One does not have to look sick to be sick.

I do not want people’s pity so I will not entertain questions about my health. I find those questions and comments annoying and upsetting therefore they will be deleted.

Once you have a disability there are some days you might feel better but there is No get better. Being that I’ve been dealing with health issues for over ten years I’ve accepted, adapted and for the most part moved on. I will Not allow this blog to become a disease of the month club.

My Relationship with God is #1, Then My Brother Stephen, after that my creativity as expressed through my writing, photography (Please check out my blog, Roaming Urban Gypsy) and my artwork.

A Warrior Woman showcases her strengths not her weakness!

Instead I’m focusing on what I can still do. My abilities. Not my disabilities. Mostly my photography and Mixed Media Picture/Photo Collage skills. I’m moving forward with my skills, talents, gifts and abilities. Thinking Positive from now on Not negative!
