I love the rich red background against her skin color of soft pinks and yellows.
Acabo de poner mi ultima pintura en Etsy (mi galeria de arte online) y he pensado en ponerla aqui tambien.
Me encanta el color del fondo que hace que su piel sea mas luminosa con esos colores rosas y amarillos.

This week it's appreciation week at my kid's school.

Congratulations Ms. Kamrar, from 6th grade. I hope you like your basket and your new painting. :)

Here is a picture of the painting.

"This is your life" quote

Take a moment to read this beautiful quote about life.


“This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don’t like something, change it. If you don’t like your job, quit. If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once; seize them. Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating. Live your dream, and wear your passion. Life is short.”

Quote/Dicho

I just read this quote and I really like it so here it goes...just a reminder for all of us.

"Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever..." Isak Dinesen.

He leido esto hoy y me ha gustado asi que lo pongo aqui para poder recordarlo de vez en cuando, cuando pensamos que estamos estresados por algun motivo. Pintar hace que a veces mire las cosas de diferente manera, y pueda ver algo bonito que antes ni siquiera me hubiese dado cuenta que estaba ahi. Como los pequenos detalles y lo rutinario. Bueno hay va...

Tiempos dificiles me han hecho entender mejor que antes, como de bonita y rica es la vida en cada sentido, y que muchas de las cosas de las que nos preocupamos tanto, no son en realidad nada importantes.

First Sculpture and more...

I am excited to post my first sculpture, made of polymer clay.
It was a lot of fun to do it, I wish a had more time and I could make a lot of them. Maybe in the future.
Here is the picture...Let me know what you think.
The pictures are not so great, it's late and with the flash it shines too much...bummer, but you get the idea.

Bailarina

Also I have been working on a painting for a donation for Whole Foods. They are going to have an Art Sale with art from  some local artists and the kids from the studio where I teach art (Kids Studio of Fine Arts). The money is going to go to the countries were Whole Foods gets their Organic food, like chocolate and coffee, to help support those businesses.
The date of the Art Sale is set for Saturday March 24th 2012 @ Whole Foods in Roseville, California from 11 AM to 2 PM. I hope  to see you there....

Mixed media and acrylic on canvas

Also I want to thank Kim, for purchasing my Safira Girl from my online store, Etsy. She is going to look great in your home I am sure. Thank you for your support Kim.

Bueno, Hay va mi primera escultura. Esta hecha de algo que se llama arcilla polimer, creo, no estoy segura si se llama asi en Espanol. Pero es como la plastelina mas o menos, y luego lo tienes que meter en el horno. Es muy divertido la verdad.

La foto no esta muy bien porque con el flash sale el brillo pero por lo menos os haceis a la idea.

Y la segunda foto es un cuadro para una donacion que estamos haciendo en el estudio de arte donde doy clases. 

Y finalmente, quiero darle las gracias a Kim por comprar mi pintura Safira, la chica azul, desde mi tienda de Internet, Etsy. Si quiereis pasaros por ella hay un link arriba en la pagina principal.

Gracias a todos por vuestros comentarios de nuevo y vuestro apoyo.

Art around town.

Wow, it has been a bit busy this week but now that everything is done, it feels good. I have run around places and carried my art from one place to another this week all over town. It feels good to see it hanging in different places so people can see it.
If you are around the Downtown  library in Roseville, CA, the Civic Center in Vernon Street , Shady Coffee and Tea or Kona Coffee in Rocklin, take a look on the walls. The art would be there for at least a month. The Civic Center also has other local artist displaying their art.  Noelia

Two more paintings.

 I had finished two new paintings. They are not as big as the other ones. I am going to post them here, I have no idea what to call them so they have no name.
Any ideas? They will be at the Art shows coming up in this next few weeks.

He acabado dos pinturas nuevas. No son tan grandes como las que normalmente hago pero han quedado bonitas. Estaran en las exhibiciones de las proximas semanas. No tengo ni idea de como llamarlas a si que no estan bautizadas todavia. Alguna idea? seguire pensando.

Upcoming Art Shows and Exhibits

I am very excited about this next couple of months. My art is going to be all over town.

Also at the Roseville Civic Center, on Vernon Street,  from March 2nd to April 28th 2012.

Lastly, at two coffee shops:
- Kona Coffee and Tea in Rocklin.  It's located in Blue Oaks Blvd and Lonetree Blvd.
-Shady Coffee in Downtown Roseville.  The art will be there for the months of March and July.

Estoy muy contenta que en estos proximos dos meses voy a poder poner mi arte por varios sitios en Roseville y Rocklin, California.
Va  a estar en una biblioteca durante un mes, tambien en un Edificio publico que se llama Civic Center, y en dos cafeterias. Que pena que desde Espana pilla un poco lejos para darse una vuelta por ahi.
Me encantaria irme a tomar un cafe ahi con mi hermana, amigos y familia. ;)

Kids Studio of Fine Arts

I just have to share this one more time. We are so lucky to have a place like this in our neighborhood....It's an amazing place for kids and adults, you should check it out. I wish when I was a little girl they had an art studio like this in my town. Our kids really are lucky to be able to go here and play and have fun and learn and express their feelings. The instructors are great and love what they do. And I am not saying that because I teach there. I really love to be part of the studio. If I was a kid this would have been the perfect playground for me . You should really stop by if you have a change. The first time is free, so no worries, just call and came and try a class...

Check out their facebook page and look at the kids art....

3rd Saturday Art Walk Downtown Roseville

I am excited about this month 3rd Saturday Art Walk. I am going to have some of my paintings in display and for sale Febrary 18th at the Downtown library behind Royers Park. I hope you guys can make it. There is going to be a lot of beautiful art !!!

Huge Abstract painting. Pintura abstracta enorme.

This is my biggerst painting ever, I really really like big paintings. It was challenging and fun at the same time to do something so big.
I love the bold colors. Also I have a thing for Italy and it brings great memories to think about it.
The paintings is 46" x 46".  The picture is not that great.

Esta es la pintura mas grande que he hecho hasta el momento. Ha sido divertido pero tambien un poco dificil pintar algo de ese tamano. Al menos se me ha quitado el miedo y ya estoy lista para la proxima.
Me gustan los colores que tiene. Mide mas o menos un 1.16 metros de ancho por lo mismo de largo.
La foto no le hace justicia en mi opinion, hay que verlo de cerca.

Back to painting.

New Year, new things to try. I just finished this painting last night. It is a new style for me. I had never try to paint something like this, I really like it, it is out of my comfort zone but I am planning to get better and better at it. I really like this Pop Art style and I am very happy with the end result for being the first time...

Here it goes, do you think you know who he is? I hope so, I think the mustache gives it away, jejeje.

Bueno, este ano he decidido empezarlo probando algo nuevo. He pintando este cuadro estilo Pop Art.
No ha quedado mal por ser la primera vez que lo intento, estoy bastante contentilla con el resultado.
Me gustan los colores y lo simple que es. Tambien me gustan mucho sus pinturas y lo creativo que era.
Lo reconoces? Creo que el bigotillo lo dice todo. jejeje
Ahi va.
