Dear Timmy

My floor is covered in brightly colored long strips of canvas that make my heart heart pound and my skin glow. Its a beautiful thing. 

My commissions are stacking up, Im way behind and all I can do is look at these free spirits all around me. Once Im done the commissions Ive taken on, Im not doing any more. Im going to let myself bask in the world of abstraction. Im so far lost in the love of the paint, I dont ever want to return to a world of lines restricted and bound by facial features and skin tones. I feel like Ive sold my soul to the devil and Im floating on a cloud of mist risen from fornication.

Lost in Abstraction

Ive crossed over into the dangerous world of abstraction and I dont want to return.  Since I have stepped away from the confined lines of portraiture, I feel more artisticly free more than I ever have before.  For the first time I am using bright and bold colors. 

This makes me believe that art is a reflection of the artist.  Life is worth living while we are alive.  I am free and alive and I dont ever want to feel dead again like I did when I was married.

Keep it Simple


Scorpio and Capricorn love compatibility 
This union means successful sexual mutual relationships. Scorpio is the more imaginative lover, but Capricorn's stamina is a delightful match. Scorpio's possessiveness spells security to Capricorn. These two work well as a team - Capricorn is highly organized and Scorpio has native shrewdness. The Scorpio is more inventive, while the Capricorn is more patient. Their success in bedroom opens some interesting opportunities. The representatives of both signs have strong will, but the Scorpio is inclined to dominate. The Capricorn must understand, that it happens because of the Scorpio's great love. The connection is usually passionate and marriages are successful.

My Advice to Jill


I play my hip hop loud through town, dont practice the catholic religion, I dont bake, Im divorced and legally took on my middle name as my last. If I cared what ppl thought of me in this small town, I would be Ms. Willey bringing cookies to catechism. We are who we are Jill and we should never stifle our ways to conform to the masses in order to avoid judgement. You are a good person too! Love that hat of yours by the way!

Im Not Perfect


Im not very good at:

Reading
Math
Relationships
Landscaping
Wearing my seat belt
Getting up in the morning
Remembering names
Tanning
Saying no
Loosing weight
Playing cards
and
Falling asleep

But one thing Im great at,
is being me.



For Her





I hope some day she knows
how much I sacrificed
and postponed my selfish dreams
to help her grow and raise her right
with pride, strength and self-esteem

She is my passion, inspiration
Love and hope combined
The reason why I get up every day
And the reason why I grind

I cherish every day
She' s my blessing from above
I thank God for her
My one and only true love

India Arie The Truth

Let me tell you why I love him

Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly cause 
his light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie

I remember the very first day that I saw him
I found myself immediately intrigued by him
Its almost like I knew this man from another life
Like back then maybe I was his husband and maybe he was my wife
And even, the things I don't like about him are fine with me 
Because its not hard for me to understand him because he's so much like me
And its truly my pleasure to share his company
And I know that it's God's gift to breathe the air he breathes

How can the same man that makes me so mad
-do you know what he did-
[spoken]
Turn right around and kiss me so soft
-girl do you know what he did-
[spoken]
If he ever left me, I wouldn't even be sad, no
Cause there's a blessing in every lesson
And I'm glad that I knew him at all


I love the way he speaks
I love the way he thinks
I love the way he treats his mama
I love that gap in between his teeth 
I love him in every way that a woman can love a man from personal to universal but most of all its unconditional

-you know what I'm talking about-
[spoken]
Thats the way I feel
-and I always will


There ain't no substitute for the truth
either it is or isnt
cause he is the truth
you see the truth it, needs no proof
either it is or it isnt 
Cause he is the truth
Now you know the truth by the way it feels
and if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
cause he is yes he is
I wonder does he know

I went fishing today

I found this on a dating profile today...yes I was looking, dont judge me, judge him! I think its honest, funny, creative and has personality. 

"Termianly frustrated, carbon outdated. Too many one liners. 
Bored with many things or the lack there of. Lovers lost.
Sick of looking. Sick of the same story over and over. 
(thought a few people have called me a liar for telling of my life,
that's amusing, I think nothing so special, sounds so extravagant to
others) I already gave up, I'm here. what ever happens happens, 
Ill keep on keeping on.

oh but this isn't very shiny now is it?
I want our love to be like a rock, a mountain.
I bet you have some crevasses I could get some good hand holds in. 
Im a freestyle climber. That means I'm not into rope. Well not usually. "

I Want This in Him

“I am nothing special of this I am sure. I am just a common man with common thoughts. There are no monuments dedicated to me, and my name will soon be forgotten. But I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, that has always been enough.”

Love

Ever been in love??? Its the best of the best and the worst of the worst when experiencing the emotions that come with and without it. Love can make the world go round and it can stop you in your tracks. 

My Advice to Emanon


When you said to me, 

"I have to let go of my hope and just deal with what is. My reality is, we aren't together and may never be again. I have lost a friend, and a lover and one of the deepest connections I have ever had to any woman ever."

I told you, "I hear and relate to every word." and I really do! I have you in my phone as Mr. Hope.  Don't ever give up on hope. I feel as though I have, for these same reasons, and its a very cynical place to be. I feel like its an odd phenomena that happens when you love someone for all that they are and the feelings aren't mutual. It almost seems as though they don't see the big picture, so you tell yourself that they do love you but for what ever reason, they choose not to act on it. Either way, it leaves you feeling empty, alone, unwanted and not good enough. 

I dont have all of the answers. All I can say is that you are a wonderful person, Ive seen the greatness in you ever since I was that shy, soft spoken girl in the back of the class. I'll say to you what Im trying to tell myself. If she cant see how great you are, then you shouldnt want her. You need to "be with the person that thanks God for you." We both deserve someone that will love every aspect of us, the good and the bad. Someone that will support us in our goals and help us reach them. 

But most importantly, you need to "do you" Ever since Ive been focused on recreating my life to better myself emotionally, mentally, and physically, everything else is falling into place. Ive been saying, " I am becoming much greater than the idealistic version of whom you think I am" because I want to live life and live it better than ever before.  If she is going to be "the one" for you. Dont worry, she will be back. So take this time for you. Become greater than that idealistic version of who she thinks you are because it will be you that gains the most...but above all, please dont loose hope. After all, finding true love depends on it!

My Art


All of my career I have been inspired by the spirit of the people around me, therefore I am a portrait artist at heart. However, after many muses, my daughter being the greatest, I am slowly moving to the untamed world of abstraction. I have enjoyed combining the two forms together using traditional oil painting techniques with modern mixed media. 

I want to be know for giving of myself and asking for nothing in return. It always comes back to the people in my opinion. I want to move people and have them express emotions. I feel it all, the good and the bad. We are here to live life and learn lessons. I am a good person, and I want my art to reflect that. Its not about technique, color or composition. People that cant see beyond that, miss the point I was tryin to make.

Delight


I bare the name that was given to me at my birth not of my father or my ex lover, but a name that has been passed down from woman to woman. I am Amanda Delight and I am becoming much greater than the idealistic version of whom you think I am. I am passing on my creativity, strength and name to my own daughter and that no one can take away.

Launch


Here comes Amanda Delight's prolific period, round II. It consists of more bright colors than ever before as she dabbles into the world of abstraction. Its the rebirth of her inspiration born from the paint its self, instead of being driven from a muse. This period will be a turning point in her career because this inspiration comes from within. This is all new untapped territory in the studio of Amanda Delight.
