What's on my Easel

"The Corners of My Mind"

Acrylic, 8" x 10"  This is the third piece of artwork I created for the poster for the Vagina Monologues.

I was trying hard to figure out what it is that separates each women from each other and the lives they share with the world.

It is true that women wear many faces. It starts when they are young and  innocent, letting their imaginations run free.

As woman  matures some of that innocents fades away.  They must learn to get along, co-exist and change with lives situations.

She will become a  daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, lover, wife, and mother.

Each with its own mask, each with it's own set of rules.

But as I have read many stories about women, their stories have one common thread. Of course, this too might be said for all mankind as well.

We all want to be accepted, we all want to be appreciated, we all want to be loved.

Enjoy my artwork and enjoy the song that inspired it. 

Deep within the corners of my mind
Melody Gardot
I keep a memory of your face
And I only pull it out
When I long for your embrace
Deep within the corners of my mind
I'm haunted by your smile
As it promises me joys
Like a journey to a tropic isle
It's not hard to see what you do to me
It's like a page right out of fist time wave
Though I try to fight
All the word you write, leave me standing
In the starry robe in some tragic lovers place
But deep within the corners of my mind
I'm praying secretly
That eventually in time
There'll be a place for you and me
That eventually in time
There'll be a place for you and me
There'll be a place for you and me
Deep within the corners of my mind

Friday Meditation

Friday Meditations
I have been using essential oils for about 3 years now. I love them and I like to use them when I meditate.
The way I learned to use them is simple,easy and fun.
I like things that have a ritual to them.
So when I use the oils I prepare a space and lay out the oils I have.
I close my eyes and let my hand float over the bottles until I feel drawn to pick one up.
Pure oils have special properties to them that will attract certain qualities. To use essential oils according to traditional associations and to help bring about their vibrations I follow a few rules.
1. First, I wash my hands so that the oils will have a clean surface to float and be absorbed into.
2. Once I have pick the oil I would like to use, I pour a drop into my left palm and with the tips of my right pointer finger I circle in a counter clockwise direction 3 times.
3. Next I rub my palms together and bring my palms to my nose and take a deep breath in. Repeat 3 times.
4. With the rest of the oil that remains on my palms I rub into my hair.
Now you are ready to start your day or go into meditation.
There are many ways to use the essential oils.
As perfumes, splashed into you bath or sent your pillows.
Just make sure you do not get them in your eyes.
Here are some of the oils I use and what their vibrational qualities are.
Cedar, Purification, Love, Money
Cinnamon, Attraction, Speed,
Frankincense, purification, luck, protection,
Frank & Myrrh, purification, protection, spirituality,
Gardenia, love, peace,
Ginger, Success, power,
Jasmine, Spiritual love,
Lavender, healing, peace, love,
Peppermint, healing, luck
Sandalwood, protection, purification, spirituality,
Sweetgrass, spiritual attraction
Ylang Ylang, opportunity, peace.
There are soooo many more. I have only just begun collecting all essential oils I want.
Relax and remember to have fun and enjoy this.

What's on my Easel?
I have been asked to create a design for this years poster for the "The Vagina Monologues"
Produced by Andrea Hollowell.
V-Day 2011
Elko Presents
Eve Ensler's
The Vagina monologues,
March 18 & 19
Studio 425
Elko, NV

So I went about painting, and painting and paining what I felt would be the story of women and how they felt about their life.
This is only one of the four paintings I did for the poster.
This is the one I love the best and in deep reflection of ones life I felt it touched my soul deeply.
While I was coming up with compositions for these painting, I was trying to imagine a woman who has looked back at her life. A woman who could acknowledge her past an than move forward to heal herself into the present.
Again, Melody Gardot touched a chord with me. With her song 'Gone".
I invite you to listen to the music and enjoy the painting.
Be safe, be strong, be health, be you,

Gone - Melody Gardot
I won't wake up To the sound of your feet
Walking down the hall
Like a soft heartbeat
I won't wake up
Cause by the time that
I do you'll be gone
I won't look back
On a past so long
I won't look back
On the things gone wrong
I won't look back
Cause by the time that
I do you'll be gone
I won't have words
I've said all that there is to say
I won't have words
Cause I know you'll just throw them away
I won't have words
Cause by the time that
I do you'll be gone
By the time that
I do you'll be gone
By the time that
I do you'll be gone

Pink Saturday

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!!
I will be away this Sat. but I did not forget you.
 I am packing my bags,

and leaving very early in the morning.
 Not by car,
 not by bike,
 yes by train!!!!...

 I am taking the Amtrak train from Elko to Sacramento this week end. It is on my  Bucket list. We will be going through the Sierra Mountains. Of course, it is storming now with lots of snow. I hope we do not get stuck, or snowed in on the train, but than again that is the adventure of the trip....not knowing.
It's been awhile since I have put out a haiku, 5,7,5 syllables.   So along with pink  today I will gift you with a haiku.

The snow is falling,
it is still winter for us,
soon spring will be here

I will also leave you with my favorite writer and singer, Melody Gardot

What's on my easel?????

Tea with Rabbit
Since 2011 is the year of the Chinese Metal Rabbit, and I love Rabbits for lots of reasons.
They represent, fertility, abundance, new beginnings.
Rabbits have long been a subject for me to paint and embrace. I expect they will be lots of paintings this year with rabbits in them.
I am learning many lessons this year and top on the list is Stillness, Meditation, Being Calm...the list goes on and on. Often my paintings represent my own life and the lessons I myself are going through.
I welcome you on my journey.
Here is a poem to meditate on.
Totally Crazy
The deep blue sea
spoke to me;
it was holding back
a mystery.
A dolphin took me by the hand'
it wanted me to understand
that in this life
there's more to behold
than bags of money and pots of gold.
Believe in yourself
and you will see
how happy and free
you were meant to be.
By Mike Dooley


For me right now that says a lot.
What happens when you start to believe in yourself?
What happens when you start to put yourself out in the world?
What happens when you do want you want and follow your dreams?
I'm thinking what happens is that you become a better you. But this time around once you believe in yourself your also better for family, friends, and the world.
Just something to think about.

"You are Enough"

If every flower tried to look like another, if every flower stood in a row, would you not forget that each flower were not special, that maybe each flower was so unlike the other and that is why you like it....You are Enough just the way you are.

What's on my Easel

The Spin, acrylic, 4' x 4' original fine art by Jean Hart

This has been on my easel for awhile. I can't tell if it's done.
It's one of those paintings that you can't stop messing with. I love circles, and mandala's but I have a hard time getting them to be symmetric. I do everything free hand so there's a lot of back and forth work going on.
I like the modern design and the colors are muted which I like as well. It's a big canvas, 4' x 4' and I think I filled it just fine.
All comments are welcome on this one. Like I said I think this one is a work in progress.

What does it feel like to be the words you speak?
Words are so important. So why not speak straight to yourself so that your heart may hear you.
Can you just imagine a woman who refuses to diminish her life so others will feel better!!
When you speak to yourself or others speak and act with you heart. If you dare to speak or act in a negative way, pain will follow. But if you speak pure and clear happiness follows.
Today try to be mindful of being positive in all you say and do. Know that each word and thought has power to create a world you want to live in.
I think it's really fun to look for and take on affirmations I believe in them and I use them daily. Try to find one that fits you.

Be inspired, be safe, be you.

Monday's Question

Monday's Question???
????????????????????
How do you overcome that which prevents you from taking risks?
Monday's Question???


????????????????????
Yesterday I brought up all my courage and just did it! I registered and paid for two fine art workshops in acrylic. These workshop are far away from my home. I am planning on going by myself. This is huge for me. I almost never go anywhere alone. I always invite people to join me. But this time it was different. No one had time to go with me to the workshop in April and so it was either not go or go it alone. I put up many blocks telling myself why I could not go, it is amazing how we stand in our own way. After thinking things through I just said NO I want to go to this workshop. So JUST DO IT. I wrote the check and mailed it off so I could not change my mind~~~
What's your story.

The Bear I found out is my Guardian Animal, and here is what he means.


This is my Guardian Animal



You are very aggressive, and very wise. You love to hang out by yourself, but you do have a lot of friends, you are a string soul! of course my next question was what is a "String Soul"?

   It seems that I am a Hunter Soul



you are driven and ambitious - totally self motivated to succeed.

Actively working to achieve what you want, you are skillful in many areas.
You are a natural predator with strong instincts ... and more than a little demanding.You are creative, energetic, and an extremely powerful force.
An outdoors person, you like animals and relate to them better than people.
You tend to have an explosive personality, but you also have a good sense of humor.
People sometimes see you as arrogant or a know it all.
You tend to be a bit of a loner, though you hate to be alone
Souls you are most compatible with: Seeker Soul and Peacemaker Soul
Here is the website if you too want to know what kind of soul you our.

Happy Birthday

It's my Birthday!!!!
So what age I'm I?? I took a test, a personality tests to find out. After answering many questions here is what it said:
You act 32
You are a thirty-something at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! You're responsible, wise, and have enough experience to understand a lot of the world. You're at the point in your life where you understand yourself pretty well. You are figuring out what you want... and how to get it!
Yippee!!! I'm thirty-something again???
Surprise I like this answer.
Next set of questions was Who is my Gaurdian Animal?
The Bear
You are very aggressive, and very wise. You love to hang out by yourself, but you do have a lot of friends, you are a string soul!
of course my next question was what is a "String Soul"?
Oh one more thing, What do people see in me?
A happy go lucky girl
People can tell that you are an ambitious person. You strive for good things, never minding the bad. To most, you seem fearless, and are prepared for anything life throws at you. Though it is good to be positive, it is also important to acknowledge the negative in your life.
Well that's me in a nutshell.
How do they know these things?

January


It's a new year and new resolutions, but lets not be too hard on ourselves. January should really be the first month of the new year that we start by
 Self-Love.
You must love yourself before you can love another. I know you have heard this before.
So instead of a deep breathing exercise and mediation I think I will start will just a few ways you can love yourself a little more this year.

I don't mean loving yourself in a selfish and egotistical manner, but more with gentle kind acts of care and love.
Because I know you already know that you are worth this care, here are a few ways you can show it to yourself.

1. Play. Laugh. Have Fun.
Not everything has to be so serious....
2. Go outside, even if it's cold. The cold air will
refresh you and the sun will provide Vitamin D.
3. Eat well. I mean really like the foods that are good
for you. Thank them and be grateful that you live in
a place where you can have fresh vegetables,
fruits and clean water.
4. Sleep well. Rest when you can. People who get
less than 8 hrs of sleep are more prone to illness.
5 Exercise, You knew it was coming. Just 20 mins a
day of something you enjoy.
Enjoy January. What you do this month will set in motion what you will do all year.
Be inspired, be safe, be love,

Happy New Year!!
It's new years resolution time......I have to laugh as I look at last years list and find some of the same resolutions on this years list!!! I have to ask, "I am so bad that I have to change my whole self each year!!!"
I think not! So this meditation today is to say to me and to all of you "Stop!! You are enough just the way you are."
In the quietness of time and space sit peacefully and breathe in deeply and realize you are enough. you have done enough, shared enough, loved enough, helped enough. Just being you has touched thousands of people, I'm sure that you have been grateful enough, thankful enough and inspired enough. It seems each year we begin with diets to reshape our bodies, some do this for health, some do this for happiness, some just for vanity. Whatever your reason do it for the love of your body.
Lets begin;

• Imagine as you say to yourself, "I am enough. I am  loved, I allow my body to take its own shape and I love the shape of my body."
• Begin at the top of your crown, move your head, massage it. love your hair. Touch in and say, "I am enough, I love my hair just the way it is.
• Blink your eyes, massage your eyelids and eyebrows, open and close them. say"I am enough, I love my eyes just the way they are."
• Touch your ears, massages them both at the same time, "I am enough, I love my ears for all that they hear"
• Rub the tip of your nose, breath in and out slowly, say "I am enough, I love the shape and size of my nose"
• Trace your lips and form a kiss,say "I am enough, I love my lips and mouth"

Continue down the rest of your body, find something wonderful to be thankful for with each part of your body.
Saying the whole time "I am enought, I love......"
Using affirmation as you breathe in and exhale.
Know that you are enough, you are perfect, you are just the way you should be.
When you are done with your whole body, bless it, thank it for working perfectly, make a promise to be kinder to yourself by honoring its beauty and hard work.
Be inpired, be thankful, be grateful, be you,

Haiku Chain

Haiku Thursday
I was asked not too long ago, to answer a question. Seems like the thing to do on all the blog site now. So the question was easy enough when first asked but, once the words settle in this was a complex question. I thought hard about it and did not want to go into any deep complex answer so I thought I will answer it in haiku.
Who do you think you are????
A divine light beam,
a heartbeat in the night air,
a smile of insight.

Today's Meditation Creation is called
"Water Mediation"

Fill the bath with warm water, you can add bath salt, bubbles or essential oils to the water, anything that will calm you.
Playing soft music is good to.
Breath in to the count of 4,
Hold your breath to the count of 5, and Reflect
Exhale to the count of 6

Breath in saying" Water feels.."
Reflect on this..
Exhale..saying,  "Water is refreshing and warm"

Breath in saying, "Water is healing"
Reflect on this...
Exhale out saying  "Water is soothing."

Breath in saying, "Water is cleansing"
Reflect on this...
Exhale out saying  "I honor this time to cleanse and calm down."

Breath in saying " Water is relaxing."
Reflect on this...
Exhale out..saying,  "Thank you for water"

Now just lay back, listen to the music and enjoy this quiet time for yourself.
Smile at the gift you have just given to yourself.

Happy Pink Saturday for the Holiday's


While scouting the stores in my little town, what did I spy but a pink Christmas tree, I stepped into the store and there it did stand, all glistening and shinny just saying come in.


I looked all around and I saw what I wanted, a little pink book to write all my gratitude's in.
Placed on the table with candle and card, I started to write out my list and Thank You for life.





With so many events celebrating Christmas. The first one I went to was the Christmas Tree Festival. Look at this tree, all decked out in pink, I know that this one was the best of the event.





On to the Creche, where there was over 100 Nativity's Displayed. How beautiful this was fill with the Christmas Spirit.
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year.

Jax has left the Tower

Jax exploring the snow

I'm letting go. I saw Tangled the 3D movie, Awesome, but it got me to thinking that its time to let the kittens go.  Jax has left the "Tower". I have had this little kitten since it was born in the Spring. I thought that maybe he should be an inside cat, but truly he needs to go out and explore the world. It is the right thing to do and I pray that I don't loose him. He is part of the world so I have let him go free to have a snow adventure.
Here is how I came to have kitten:
I wanted a cat for my studio and my husband said "no, we have two cats." So I brought each one into the studio and asked them if they would like to stay here and be my "studio cat." Each one looked around and promptly left for the outside world. So than I said I want a "kitten" and will get one in spring when kittens are born. Again, Kerry said "no!" Well not more than two days later a small beautiful gray and white cat shows up in my garage, and she's pregnant!!! I brought her into my studio, two days later she had five kittens so not only do I have a studio cat but studio Kittens. Isn't the Universe wonderful????
The mommy cat we named Gabby, and we kept two of her kitten. Jax and Sassy. Slowly they are learning about the outside world.

I love the holiday season. I hope you have had a chance to participate in some of the holiday events. I went to the Christmas Creche Exhibit in Elko this year. It was beautiful and so fully of the Christmas Spirit. There were hundreds of Nativity Displays, A Live Christmas Nativity Re-enactment plus Music from our own talented community choirs and special guest "Heartbound" performing. www.heartboundmusic.com



I would like to Thank all of you who have helped to make 2010 a great and inspired year for Jean Hart Artworks. I could not have continued without all of you who have inspired me.





"Under The Mistletoe" is my painting and peom for this years Christmas Wish.

Under The Mistletoe, Acrylic

Under The Mistletoe



A single moment, etched in time.

A dream burst open, like a shinning star on a moon lite night.

A blink, an instant, a move forward.

When all that you know,

changes to all that you dream.

Forever more and for always changed.



Merry Christmas,

May the wonders and magic of the hoiday season fill your heart

with peace and your home with joy.

Use the last line as your first line in your haiku.

It's all up to you,
I have met a new friend here,
a very blue friend.

A very blue friend,
who flew in to say hello,
Come travel with me.

Diabeticliving Wednesday

I just joined Diabeticliving, It's a good thing. " It's true. People with diabetes are more courageous, more resilient, more caring, and (said with a wink)better looking than your average person." Now who couldn't use this kind of support.
