The Accolade 15/06/21 Not sure where to begin with this one, guess to start I'm sorry but I'm keeping the price quite high because it took well over a month to complete, more like two. The original is a very polished, complex work by an artist who had the full monty and yet it's so worked that something within it does not quite come off to me, pursuit of perfection perhaps, I'm not sure but I'm afraid that I could not follow the work to the letter, I can see how he's tried to make the knight the focus, you have the spear, the sword crossing but when I was working on it the princess became the focus more and more and when I tried to follow the original face it just did not work with me. So I took her to when she had some beauty and a bit of soul and then I let her be, likewise I made her dress glow and in doing so I have made her the focal point and that is how this painting will remain. Regardless of if anyone ever buys it, E. Blair Leighton was far, far ahead of me technically and I learned a lot in following him, I hope that one day I can utilize that knowledge in my own work but right now I'm working in a warehouse on minimum wage and the chances of me doing so diminish by the day.

Perhaps just as bad as a panic attack is the long process of trying to feel better after a panic attack. If you've ever had one, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. The fearfulness can subside. The heavy breathing can calm down. And yet…
Are you a new art teacher wanting to try a watercolor project with your students? Perhaps you’re an artist who is teaching art to kids for the first time. Determining the best watercolor techniques for young children can be challenging. For children in Kindergarten through fifth grade, I have always found that its best to keep it

At this time of year, airports call to mind heart-warming scenes from Love Actually. But some of these welcome signs snapped at arrival halls around the world are less than romantic.
From the series "Hopper Meditations" Hopper Meditations is a personal photographic response to the work of the American painter, Edward Hopper. My images are created by digitally marrying dollhouse-size dioramas with live models. The sets I built, painted and photographed in my studio. A lot of the furniture is standard dollhouse furniture, but some I made myself. I then photographed the models against a plain backdrop, and lastly, made the digital composites in Photoshop. When I began the series, my plan was to base each work on a specific Hopper painting, and this is the case in the earlier works in the series. As the series progressed, though, I felt more freedom to create my own compositions that were inspired by Hopper's style and vision, but not based on specific paintings. I have always loved the way Hopper’s paintings, with an economy of means, are able to address the mysteries and complexities of the human condition. Placing one or two figures in humble, intimate settings, he created quiet scenes that are psychologically compelling with open-ended narratives. The characters’ emotional states can seem to waver paradoxically between reverie and alienation, or perhaps between longing and resignation. Dramatic lighting heightens the emotional overtones, but any final interpretation is left to the viewer. These are all qualities I hope to imbue in my images as well. In other ways, my pictures diverge from Hopper’s paintings. The general mood in my work is more somber, and the lighting is less harsh, than in Hopper’s. I am trying to achieve an effect perhaps closer to the chiaroscuro lighting of Rembrandt, another painter I greatly admire. I would like the lighting to act as almost another character, not only illuminating the form of the figures, but also echoing and evoking the their inner lives. I suppose I would like to marry the theatricality of Rembrandt with the humility of Hopper. In this way, I like to think of my images as dramas for a small stage, with the figures as actors in a one or two character play. The characters, by appearance, are rooted specifically in the past, somewhere in Hopper’s mid-twentieth century. For me, this augments the dreamlike, staged effect of the scenes. The themes they evoke, though—solitude, alienation, longing—are timeless and universal. Richard Tuschman January 2014 Prices and availability are subject to change without notice

Hi, I'm Jessica! I'm excited to work with you one-on-one to help you with whatever difficulties you're struggling with. It could be navigating the twin flame journey, which I am very knowledgeable on both from personal experience as a Divine Feminine on the cusp of union, and because I have done a lot of research on this myself. My Angels have connected me with many resources to help me through the journey and I am happy to share what I've learned with you. Your struggle could also be in other matters of love, not twin flame related, or with family or friends. Or you could be having career and life purpose questions you're trying to decide on. Whatever the struggle, I'm here to help. Don't stop there. Perhaps you're just struggling through your own spiritual enlightenment, or internal battles with your own emotions. Brain versus Heart versus Intuition? I have taught myself how to let my intuition lead, and I can help you do the same. We can overcome all kinds of battles together. I have backgrounds in psychology, life coaching and spirituality. I can even give advice and recommendations for dealing with negative energy within yourself or within your home or workspace, and how to handle more advanced situations concerning negative energy and supernatural elements. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any problem big or small. After all, what you think may seem small to others is never small inside our own heads and hearts, if it's causing distress. Put yourself first. Coaching is similar to therapy. This is like life coaching but specific to spiritual areas, particularly when it comes to twin flames, which no one who is not a twin flame can understand. Some ask me if it's a one time or multiple session thing? That's up to you. We can talk about a lot in one session, but you may have difficulties or struggles so you want to talk more. I will not pressure you for anything. My focus is only on what's best for you and what you want to do. I do recommend talking more if you are severely struggling, in order to stave off depression or actions you cannot undo. What Will You Get? We will have (2) 60 minute one-on-one coaching session. We will cater it to your location and technology. I'm available over the phone, text, Skype, Facetime, and other applications. This will include a 10-15 tarot or oracle card reading on your situation or subject of discussion during each session. What Do I Need to Get Started? Please send me your full name as well as any other people you're asking about. Give me a summary of what you need guidance on. Sending a picture is optional. It would help me focus on your energy, but it's not necessary. Please also send your email address. Expected Delivery Time: 3-5 weeks (varying), unless the Urgent listing is added *For urgent orders within 1 week of ordering (jumping ahead of the line), please add the separate "Urgent" listing to your order. I know this feels like a long time to wait. But understand that, for one, I’m in high demand, which just shows the wait is worth it! For two, I have to maintain a work/life balance, for my own sanity, to not burn myself out, and to not neglect my daughter. Spirit also puts me through my own tests, upgrades & teaching cycles, that sometimes require rest & rebalancing. I can never predict when this will happen. Lastly, Spirit 100% Divinely times when you are meant to receive your order. Remember, Spirit knows all things! They know when you need it most. They guided you to me in the first place, and they are guiding when you receive your completed order. So try not to stress about the wait. Know that it’s coming and you will receive it exactly when you are meant to. Cancellation Policy: For a full refund, cancellation request must be made within 24 hours. After that, you will receive a credit, and in the future, you can request to use your credit for your reading at any time. Since you have already paid, your new request will go to the front of the line. A Special Message from Me: Truly, thank you for entrusting me with your order. I genuinely care about all of my clients and feel humbled & blessed to be doing the work that I do, working with the Ascended Masters & Angels to provide you with spiritual guidance & healing. I know there are many out there doing this work. But it is also important to discern carefully who you work with, as not all are working with the right Spirits or may be in ego influencing their guidance. Understand that no one is 100% accurate either. This is because we are human, and also because Spirit tells you what you need to hear based on the energy at that moment. That can change. But above all, this journey is also to help you learn to discern truth & accuracy for yourself. I am just here to help along the way.
