It's an Art Life Justin Timberlake


I'm trying really hard to focus. I've realized I'm not Justin Timberlake. Most artist are gifted in several mediums but few can do all of them well. I need to focus on one thing and do it with all my heart.

That one thing needs to also generate income. I have my painting business that I've given a little bit of time and effort to over the years but now it will get my focus.

I'm in the process of making a packet to give to furniture stores and art galleries around the area and I've also recently been given the great privilege of having some of my art featured at Yvette Marie's Cafe inside Circa 1857 and at the next Hot Art Cool Nights, in May, I will be a featured artist there.

Check out my facebook page, facebook.com/paintedeffects and hire me to paint something for you.

you also need to understand that justin only became the renaissance man that he is today after such great success with his music career. I completely agree that you don't want to spread yourself too thin before you secure your recognition in your respective field. Do one thing, be the best at it. Once you become revered in that community you'll be able to branch out to others. we've been discussing art, life, and careers in the Christian community at http://community.bibleseries.tv - i'd love to hear some of your input

But Did You Die?

Image
Funny how life smacks you in the face with yourself. And it will smack you in the face with everything else. Both good and bad and at the same time too often. This last year I've said to myself more times than I can count, "But did you die? No? So shut the hell up. Buck up! Grow a damn vagina Carole! No one else is going to do it, you have to!" And somehow I make it through another day. The great benefit of being raised by a single mother and watching my sister live her life, balls to the wall is I KNOW I can rise to the occasion simply because I'm alive. I am in pain everyday in my heart and in my body. I have Frozen Shoulder. My entire left arm hurts all day every day pretty much. I'm in physical therapy which helps. Motrin helps. I have to take it before bed and get up and take it during the night.  I'm left handed and it is of course my left arm. Washing my hair is difficult. I can't reach back to my bra strap with my left hand. The joy o

Gay Adoption

Image
This week our Louisiana state senate was presented legislation that would allow both partners in a homosexual relationship to be named as a parent in an adoption of a child . pro-family and political Christian organizations were at the capital "fighting for traditional families" And they won, the law expansion was not approved. I'm all for free speech, fighting for what you believe in, so they have a right to speak out if they feel so led. I don't know every person that was at the capital fighting against this law expansion, but I do know many of them, and of the ones I know, NONE of them have ever adopted. I would hope they had at least funded an adoption, are part of a mentoring program for children in foster care or something that helps orphans, but I don't know if that's the case either. I do believe from over 25 years of being a part of many pro-life, pro-family political action groups, that most of the people who are in these groups have no adopted

Sneaking Back In Through the Window

Image
It was a cool, starless, October 7th 1982. I was 15 years old and I was climbing back into my house through my bedroom window at 4am after a night of partying. It wasn't a low window but it wasn't super high up either. Kinda' mid way between the roof and the ground. It was a normal, mid sized window. I had flung my leg up onto the ledge, ducked my head into the open window pane just as the phone rang inside my house. I jerk lifted my head hitting it on the window, startled by the ringing of our phone in the formerly silent darkness of my house. What the?! Why was the phone ringing at 4am? Crap! Someone must be calling mom to tell on me! A neighbor? Crap! Maybe it's a cop who saw me cruising around town! I don't even remember who I was with that night or why I had sneaked out.  I dove into the window,  I heard mom running down the hall past my door, to the kitchen to answer the phone. I ran to my bed across the room and dove under the covers fully dres
