Art is the breath of life

#Art is the breath of life, a silent partner in the world of feel #good.  Happiness & joy reside in me when I paint; I bring this feeling  to others. Best feeling ever are people who giggle in paint class. Hang a piece of happiness in your home today. Art Finder Feel #love #happiness & #joy

Ha ha ha, all true. When you wear ALL THE HATS, sometimes you have to do the hard sell...

...so, given this, here is also me on Zazzle, the whole story. I have taken my paintings and one drawing (I think) to the world of fashion, retail accessories and wedding type, housewarming type, general beautiful gifts for the genreal public who shop online. I am hoping for a T.V. debut of one of my products in an Oscar, Emmy, Tony, Golden Globe moment Photo Opt. "Where did she get that bag???" moment. You get me fans of me, right?

My facebook page leads you to my classes and other viable opportunities one might be interested in when getting to know me and who I am, a crazy lady with a talent.

TAKE A CLASS WITH ME (Ventura), or COMMISSION ME. Both work.

My visual diaries are in two places, @jpdenyer and @drawisaid on Instagram.

My first online store ever, Buddyschild, and muse for where I am today, defines my journey from 2009 when I made my first step to now looking at 87 sales to date from just this store alone. Not great, but not bad, it's cool. And, it's named after my dog, seriously, who gives up on your dog when they are your muse? Can you see similarity here?
And in closing you can also see originals up close and in person; I hang at HPC in Port Hueneme. I on 4th Sundays, when I can, do Paddy's in Ventura 4 - 8pm, I'll be the lady by the dart board. OMG that's tonight!  I have to be done here, I am so not ready....

Even after 21K views, no comment...

Screen capture of largest response to one of my blogs...

Hi.
So I am back at the computer - for awhile - and started to look at the beginnings of my blog here, The Art of JP, only to learn one of my blogs had over 21 thousand looks or reads.  (See screen capture above.)

WOW.

And not one comment. Ok. But I am suprised more at the number of visits than the lack of comments. But as I think, not one, in those 21 thousand plus readers, had a comment worth mentioning about the blog. Well, I hope I gave them something to think about.

I am still figuring out WHO Am I, as we all are in some level or another. Who I am today? A Mom, an Artist, a person of merit, kind, good to the soul, did I say good yet? LOL. Oh and doggie owner, never forget the doggies.

Here are the other portaits I did for San Diego CC 2019, all are for sale, just message me @ drawisaid on instagram. The email attached to this blog, well, I don't use that email adress anymore and might have a few difficulties gaining access to your thoughts if you message me there. And I am a bit of a T-Rex...little arms waving frantically in front of me wondering what to do with my hands! Find me if interested @jpdenyer on Instagram too!

 

End Game of Life, Looking At Retirement from a Grasshoppers POV

First, I am so glad to be back here as I have spent the later part of my day trying to get back into this account. However, back I am and glad to be blogging here again.

This has been a year of many things. Triumphs and failures abound. I wonder about the reasons why my life is this way; I find myself frozen sitting in a chair unable to move for long periods when I think about why. I am far from what I think my success should be at this juncture of my life & WHY it is NOT FINE.

Quite by accident I learned about this painting style (the painting on the right) when asked to teach a class; it is called POUR PAINTING. This is my very first one, ever. I used it for my my submission to Her Art Here, a United Airlines contest to award two artists, (one in CA, one in NY) a plane wrap. I had to do a short video (amoung other things much easier to tackle), by talking about myself & why I thought my art should be selected. After 300 or so pre-takes of this video & my son's blessings to sign off on the vid, I sent the whole package off & crossed my fingers. Sadly I was not selected, the "art" they were hoping for was more of a "doodle art"style, than a pour painting. Oh well, another time to win at contests. Pretty painting though & it is forsale!

I have continued do more of these paintings and as per usual to my personality, I push the limits to an extreme. I did EIGHT new paintings for San Diego Comic Con 2019, happily two of the paintings sold!!! The Joker and Reverse Flash (thank you to the buyers!) are the two that sold. I will update more later tonight, this is a promise!

So for now I need to go, life is calling per usual, so I will be back, thanks for reading! --JP

Today's Reveal, Tommrow's Path, the Past Be Damned

Hi.  While I don't know who you are, I want to be friendly, welcoming and have you return time and time again. Thank you for coming to check me out.  I like I have a place to post my artistic adventures as I am going to keep coming back, even when it is hard. And hard is the path the first two months have brought, not soly to me though, just saying outloud. AND... I need to run out to do a very important errand, however this blog is about starts, interuptions and stops or crossing the finish line, as the blog will be completed. So, Sci Fi Fans, this is Star Date: JP 2-14-19:5:31 and I will be back! Happy Valentine's Day, even if you have no one...enjoy the picture.

Hello again, Bring a cup of Coffee and Join Me, it's been awhile.

Thanks for taking a sit, I have been treading water to answer the global question, "Where'd she go?"

Ha!

Had to move twice, dealt with the fires of recent in So Cal, all the other stuff is stuff that happens when you move so if you've moved you get it.  If you haven't, hope you don't move, it can be rough.

Oh and I created three Instagram accounts, ("Of course she did,") I can hear someone saying, and have been busy posting my world to the world and loving it. Two are devoted to me, (@drawisaid & @jpdenyer) focusing on my metopmorphsis into my art, one personal one more business like; the third is a magical company (@cirquainc) that makes water for anything you need water for in the food service and pet industry, espeially coffee tea and now the cannibis world.

Other cliff-notes include real JP Denyer paintings is up for sale, on line, at Etsy, Art Finder and in the real touchy feely world, Hueneme Medical in Port Hueneme, CA; here I sold a beauty, the Turtle!

And...

You can now buy a JP Denyer painting morphed on a wide variety of commercial products via Zazzle.com . My brilliant leap into the marketing of my art closed out last year with zest and fun, do go have a look and of course, get yourself a gift!


So I'm going to go and play more pour paintings. I did these last night and I liked it. Ta ta for now...

 

 

Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of Fire

Michael's Class - October

Oh my God.

As the year is now ending and I am still working, painting, feeding, surviving, petting buddy and now unpackin, after I post this, I might start drawing ... this year has been a really different year for me.  Bet everyone is feeling something strong right about now.  I surely can't be alone in my feelings.

Painting has shown to me to be the inner core that fills my spine and while I NEED TO ALWAYS BE PAINTING ... the experiment I did recently, due to the circumstances in my life, truly did not return the answer I was hoping for; in fact it flopped in one direction and was an real eyeopener in another.

However, as expeiments go, this experiement was what it was.  In the land of Zen, and also knowiung I don't know what is around the bend, cause I am not psychic, Zen-like angels are pushing bolders out of my path as best they can, because the Universe has been keeping my spiritual guides very busy since July following our yearly vacation to Comic Con. It has been and still is a bit of a nightmare. Getting better, but just not at scream-mo mode. Phew!

With the election, the Presidental candidate - elect, the protests, the huge amount of social media flooding the system, my world has gotten a wee bit quieter, just a little bit.  I have been forced out of my warm and comfy cave, something I don't like. Caves are nice, especially mine.

Michael's Class - November 2016

Here are some paintings I have done while painting and teaching classes at Michael's in Camarillo. recently.

 I feel the sleepy moves being put on my time - something else I don't like., which means I may dump  my desire to start the drawings in my head for a kids book I got hired to do and go to bed...

You can also find my paintings, my career, my everywhere. Just GOOGLE Me.

Michael's Class - November

Who am I?

Yes, that's correct, who am I?

In July of 2015, I became a teacher for Michael's Crafts, Fine Arts Teacher, the Camarillo Store.


Since that journey, I have discovered how much fun I love to paint, selling three of these startup paintings and giving one away to my cousins. I found my Daughter created me a fantastic Facebook page (JP Denyer Artist), devoted to this new opportunity.


I've created a foundation of paintings as a result & I think more & more about how much fun I am having, painting.
Today I discovered two of the four planets are no longer in retro-grade, intuition is on the rise, & it's a great time to ask soul searching questions.

So here are some painting of recent & with this Memorial Day weekend upon me (and everyone), I look forward to my creativity happening.
