AVAG has lots of members -- lets get busy!
Hi there!
First of all, welcome to the AVAG blog! If you're a Guild member and want to be added as an author here, please email me, dangerousmezzo, at mco [at] ns.sympatico.ca with the email address you want to use. I'll set you up as an author and you can get started.
Our Guild has five pages of wonderful members on its roster, so let's get something going, here!
Promoting the visual arts is very important to me, so I'd like to suggest that we make some Collections featuring our members' work. It doesn't have to be all art, but I think a Collection that's at least half art would be wonderful.
Anyone interested?
All the best,
Nina

Dog Portrait - Rat Terrier
Here is a dog portrait of a Rat Terrier that I just finished. They are such great little dogs and I was very excited to paint this guy. It's an 8 x 10" acrylic on Ampersand Gessoboard. You can see a short video I made of the progress here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNkFFUYoBHc

New Little Painting
Hi Visual Arts Guild friends!
I just wanted to share a little oil painting I made of my fat cat Abner. It is painted on a 6 x 6 inch cradled wood panel. I created a listing for a custom pet portrait in my shop.
Hope everyone is doing well. Keep creating!

Creation
A thought occurred to me as I was sitting in front of some blank canvas this afternoon. My paints were out. My water cup was full. And I was motionless. Stuck.
The canvas was white. Stark and cold. (I swear it grew eyeballs and glared at me.)
WHY am I trying to force this thing which is supposed to be natural?
I found a wonderful verse from the Tao-te Ching which was incredibly touching. Maybe it can help some other artists out there who, like myself, are feeling a bit uninspired or lost.
"He whom life fulfills is as though he remains a child. He doesn't think about his actions. They flow from the core of his being."
I think I'm going to go channel some of my inner Buddha now. We'll see what happens!
