Some art, a poem, etc.

This is for Violette as well as a relative of mine! I began making a self-portrait awhile ago. It's for Violette because I have on a headdress.
It's for my relative because she sent me flowers to add to it. It's not finished because she said that she will send more flowers. I've decided that I can add to it over time. Anyhoo, here it is..


Here is a piece that I call "The Journey" because the texture in it was done in many different ways. This shows that each life is a journey. We're all just at different stages in life. Each journey or life is different. What each of us has to face each day is different. Which makes us all Unique. The texture in this painting represents our jouneys in life, the painting itself represents being unique. Here it is...I hope that you all like it...



Here is a poem that I wrote...
I'd like to share it with you all.
I had been writing poems in the past and did not share all of them because I was told to let others write poems. I just recently decided to share most of them though. They are on my facebook fan page. This is the most recent one...

One day you will feel it to,
The happiness I feel now meant for me, meant for you.
Everyone will all be aware of what we see.
Everyone will be aware of it, yes you, yes me.
We will all hold hands on that happy happy day,
We will all hold hands and you'll hear everyone say..
Everyone will be able to say exactly what they feel.
There will be miracles all around,
making everything so peaceful and clear.

This is the painting that I am working on now.....I am not done with it...but am working on it.
This is the start of it.....had no idea what I was going to make out of it yet.


This is the second stage.... Now it's clearer what it is about. It's about someone, something, watching over us always. It's also about me crying for the world. Crying for those that have to go through pain. Crying for those like me and those that are much worse.

I will share this when I am finished with it.

I'm going to be in a market again! Next Month on the 12th..
I made this for it. I actually painted the blocks seperately a long time ago and had no idea what I would do with them. I put them all together though to create this...I hope that you all like it.

Ok that ends my post. I hope that everyone has a great weekend! :)
Thanks for stopping by!
*HUGS* to everyone!

Hey everyone!

Hey everyone! Haven't posted in awhile... these are my toenails painted. LOLOL I put glitter on top of the white because I can't stand just white by itself.
I'm sorry that I haven't been posting often. Got kinda addicted to Facebook....
I'm trying to get up my site www.angelasartarea.com but the only thing that will show up is my first painting. As you all know, I have to make it myself. Can't afford to pay someone to keep it up for me. My programs to make colleges, movies, etc. don't work. :( As you all probably know that was what kept me going. I've been really depressed lately so I haven't been able to take care of myself as well. Although I'm not in a wheelchair anymore and it's not visible for others that doesn't mean that if I am not able to go on walks and take care of myself that I do not go through pain. Much more pain then others and most of the time they don't know to help unless it's visible. I started going on walks for the first time a couple days ago though. My back, legs, arms, etc. are killing me because I wore my muscles out having seizures. I know though that if I get my strength back like I did before that I can represent those that can't be there themselves. In musicals...I'm thinking about trying out for "Annie" and will post photo's if I do. My paintings...I've decided to donate to different causes and non-profits.
I'm donating a few to the Savannah Children's Theatre, Hospice, Interfaith Hostpitality Network and the American Diabetes Assoc.
Your probably wondering what the heck I would want to do that for when I could sell my paintings. Well the answer is simple....others did that for me, that's why my parents could afford brain surgery for me twice!
I still have volunteer jobs. My health has made it impossible to keep up with the one that I have in person. The others online....I've been working on lately. My newest article will be in aceo magazine! This will be my second article for a completely new editor!

This self-portrait that I did shows myself and how I am smiling to ignore the pain that I had at the time. It only shows my ear and foot as being in pain but to be honest it's most of me when I have gotten depressed and not taken good care of myself. I only make paintings like this when in pain as therapy. It is not good for me to look at them 24/7. It helps me to paint things like this and put them aside. Painting happier things with color and texture later helps me to ignore the painful memories that I have.









For other self-portraits, video's that I made in the past, poems that I have written, etc. please vist my facebook fan page.
