Look Inside Yourself and Trust the Voice Within

Sometimes a painting is inspired my music, but then once in a while, the song comes to you while the painting takes form. This song has so much meaning to me at this point in time, Im not sure which came first.



"Young girl dont cry,
Ill be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl its alright
Your tears will dry, youll soon be free to fly
When youre safe inside your room you tend to dream,
of a place where nothings harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

Chorus:When theres no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within
Then youll find the strength that will guide your way
Youll learn to begin to trust the voice within

Young girl dont hide
Youll never change if you just run away
Young girl just hold tight
Soon youre gonna see your brighter day
Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
Its so hard to stand your ground when youre so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you're lost outside look inside to your soul

Chorus: Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as youre learning
Youll find all youll ever need to know(be strong)Youll break it(hold on)Youll make it
Just dont forsake it because
No one can tell you what you cant do
No one can stop you, you know that Im talking to you

Chorus:
Young girl dont cry
Ill be right here when your world startsto fall"

 a truly, kind, and giving person!
 Your talent heals people! 
Thank you for being a part of my life!"

Loyalty


With their complex emotions and instinctual ability to form a strong family unit with impenetrable loyalty and devotion to one another, elephants stay true to their loved ones even years after they pass. This is something that I admire the elephant for.
Done in oil, this painting is on hand stretched 36x36 canvas. I forced myself to be free with the image, and tried not to get caught up in the detail. I did this by doing the layout upside down. This is the first painting in my Lucid Dream series.

Bubbles

Passing the blackbook back and forth, my boyfriend and I create bubbles from The Trail Park Boys.

Trailer Park Boys is a popular Canadian mockumentary television series focusing on the misadventures of a group of trailer park residents.

The show's lead trio formerly toured with Our Lady Peace, and with Guns N' Roses, with whom Bubbles sings his trademark song "Liquor and Whores". The Trailer Park Boys have also appeared in music videos with The Tragically Hip, while Bubbles has appeared with George Canyon and Snow, and they have been presenters at numerous award shows - always in character.

Whats New?

I was commissioned by an owner of one of my oil paintings. This is the first stage using the Flemish technique. Its done using only Burt Umber. This color preserves the color brightness of the layers to follow. Attention to detail, shape and light/shaddow are very important in this first stage.

To All Of My Patients.

Photobucket
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Sweet Marissa

"There's a place that I go,But nobody knows.

Where the rivers flow, and I call it home. And there's no more lies. In the darkness, there's light.

And nobody cries. There's only butterflies.

Take me away: A secret place.A sweet escape: Take me away."



R.I.P. Little Angel.

Your spirit lives on because we will never stop telling your story!

You are missed and loved by many!

Passionate about human emotion, sacrifice, pain and love. Amanda paints portraits depict these feelings. Every face has a story to tell, and every story is different.

The Patina Collection by Amanda Delight was inspired by the natural element of copper, the feminine curvature of Art Nouveau, and the iconic legend of “The County Girl.”
