Art In The Eyes

"You raise your arms

And you strike it down

Paint on the ground

Paint on the ground

A soul exposed

Beauty unfolded

You pass your soul

Your heart

Your love

Onto your daughter

Giving her the world to shine in

A mini you

A living painting you have created

A canvas you cant start over

But just like her mom

She will be strong

Beauty in the soul

Beauty in the paint

Art beyond words

Art to breath

Art in the heart

The eyes

The soul

The children

It will forever live on"

~Chis Popp

Erotic

The definition of Erotic: 

"Watching your lips utter my name slowly."

My Inspiration

I was inspired by the lyrics of Lam and Grins to create a video that shows the "the seasons have a way ya'll of settling the score" with co-parenting and missing my daughter when she is gone, I am still "constantly reminded of just how lucky I am"

The Color Red

I'm at peace. 

And one day a unique canvas will tell my story. 

~Amanda DeLight

My Soul

My heart belongs to my daughter. My soul however is up on a shelf waiting for a special someone to dust it off. It is in a can with his name on it, he has seen it through my eyes. Its there for the taking if he can reach it. ~Amanda Delight

Jared Knight

This painting I did of Artist, Jared Knight was inspired by the style and composition of Vincent van Gogh's self portrait with straw hat dated 1887. 

Jared Knight is an abstract painter, who explores the world without formed thought. He feels that organized thought is what is destroying us. He has been painting all of his life, and in every dream. painting, for him is a way of life, a way of finding, and losing ones self. Abstract painting is dangerous, and fast. He warns you to be careful when viewing his work... you might not make it back.

I have known Jared since 2007. He has become a great friend and confidant. Not only has he been instrumental in my growth as an artist helping me understand the ways of the industry, but he has seen me get through some huge milestones in my personal life as well. We have exchanged paintings back and forth that we have collaborated on and we have also done each others portraits. Not to mention, we have made several videos of each other...and Jared has posted some hilarious parodies of yours truly that I absolutely adored!

Thank you Nicole!

Today when I got home I was greeted with a blog posted on my Facebook.  It was written by Nicole Cameron-Baer.  She is an OB Ultrasound Tech, or as I would say, My People!  She has a kind heart and is a pleasure to have on my friends lists.  One day soon Im sure well will share crazy patient stories over a hot cup of tea. 

Thank you Nicole for your support and following me on my journey.  I love the order in which you listed my hats, for I list them in that order as well.  Its an order of importance in my life.  My daughter being number one and my art coming before my career in women' s health.  I truly love what I do as a mother, artist and professional for they introduce me to wonderful people such as yourself!

Till Our Time Is Done

Never say, 

"Never"

 Just like you should never say, 

"Forever" 

Destiny

"But then of course everything always happens for a reason. I guess it was never meant to be, but it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is." Eminem

I have been headed down a path that even I have no control over. I couldnt change it even if I wanted to...because Lord knows I have tried!

I feel as though I could be in horrible motor vehicle accident and would walk away without a scratch on me. Its not that I feel untouchable, I guess I feel so strongly that God has a plan for me and everything does happen for a reason. 

So today I took a huge step in order to continue on my path. I called a realtor. My home will be listed by the end of the week. 

My Inspiration and I

I like the way this is coming out. I always start with a vision of how I want the end result to look. For instance with this one, I wanted to do a traditional underlayer followed by thin layers of the flemish technique. However, Im seeing pink and brown with a touch of fun to come. Who knows. This is where the painting will just paint itself.

Trust Love

Last night he gave me a beautiful ring, I was in love. 

Tonight, I caught him in bed with another girl, I was a fool. 

Tomorrow I rise above, and I walk away.

Im Amanda Delight, you couldnt possibly think that I wouldnt blog about this! 

"Amanda you have to forgive what has happened in your past and move to the future of what it is you want in life. Some go through the motions of what they think others will expect, and some just go through the comfort of life. 

But Amanda you are more extraordinary then you think ... more then what most should be entitled to have. There is a plan out there for you. The universe is in motion ... just know that no matter what in the end the one thing that will always be there for you to depend on is yourself ... because without love for yourself there is no self to love.... LOoVE!" ~Tae T Traynor

Artistic Professional Courtesy

Professional courtesy, is the tradition among physicians not to charge for treatment of each other's family.

I would like to create my own spin on this.

Artistic Professional Courtesy, is the act among artists networking and sharing through their mediums.

Im Going to Hollywood!

I'm the byproduct of a catholic boy from Maine who met a rebellious Midwestern girl in basic training for the Air Force.  

My first ray of light was the Californian sun.  A place I would spend the rest of my years only dreaming about, until I return once again on my terms...or at least as a great plan B when this East Coast idea doesnt full fill my dreams.  

Never Again Will I Trust You

"Give me that Sunday school answer

Repent your self away

Does it hurt

To know I'll never be there

bet it sucks to see my face everywhere

It was you

Who chose to end it like you did

I was the last to know 

You knew

Exactly what you would do

Dont say

You simply lost your way

they may believe you

But I never will

Never again"

~Kelly Clarkson

Never Lose Sight

Live life doing what makes you happy!  Follow your dreams and your path in life will become clear. 

As we continue our journey, we often wonder what fulfills us.  We have a vague sense that we have a calling, yet with the stresses of modern day society we can be mislead or puzzled as to which way to go.  Always remember that true happiness will be found in relationships with each other.  

I have found it is often through sharing our gifts and talents, that our purpose here on earth makes sense.  It is when we "give" that others can see us in our best self.  Be open to change, expect a long road but never loose sight of your dreams! ~Amanda Delight
