Testimonials:

After seeing your posts as you worked on various pieces, I started thinking about the possibility of purchasing one. Although I was worried that I would end up with buyer's remorse, I finally came to the conclusion that, if your art was that compelling on-line, it would only be more so in person. I decided that I'd combine mom's day/bday/anniversary and give myself something special. My experience was phenomenal! Ultimately, I think your art just makes people happy, which is no small thing.

Purchasing online was really easy and your communication with me regarding the status of my purchase including shipping was really good. As soon as I opened the box, I was extremely pleased that I had decided to take a chance and buy it. Both of the paintings I have purchased hang in my office. Almost everyone has something to say or notices something different about them -- the folks from our fine arts division especially.
Elizabeth Scherer
My daughter LOVES your art, she is inspired by it and it makes her smile when she sees it - as do I. Organizing our drops offs without Aubrey seeing is always fun. I would say to someone considering buying Belinda's art: Do something right now that makes your heart smile.

I was looking for whimsical, freedom, colour, play and inspiration in art. My experience with Belinda's art is incredible. You are very talented, there is such raw emotion, play and beauty in your art, and you are an incredible free spirit and beautiful soul.

I was looking for art that would make me smile when I looked at it. I love the style of your painting. I love the abstract designs and the depth and the layers. I love that I could spend months looking at it and discover new things in it that I never saw before. But most of all I LOVE how vibrant your paintings are.

I look at your work and escape to another world! Your art is amazing. I want to look at it daily.

Your art just speaks to me. Its like a song sung straight to my heart. Do I have enough wall space for everything I want?!! May need to take up a second job for my art addiction.  I give people art tours when they come to my home. I just love you!!!
Ashley Farris
I absolutely do recommend your art to everyone I meet. I'd say to someone interested in buying a painting that "It'll make you happy every day to have a piece or 10 of your art." I love that I can come to your home and buy. That you are warm, friendly and involved with the community. 
Ashley Farris
I am thrilled to see the pieces I got from you today on my own wall. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent so generously. Who knew that painting as a way of healing could result in such an explosion of life and happiness... I wish you strength and success. (And I have fantasies of you painting every single wall in my house.)

I had some concerns about buying from you because I have known you for so long and we see each other almost everyday.  If something would have gone wrong, would it have made things uncomfortable between us?  My experience was great.  You really took the time to figure out what I was looking for and I think that the painting suits my family perfectly. I would absolutely recommend you to a friend. Your work is beautiful and your prices are reasonable.

SelfLove365 1/365

There’s no time like the present to start another #selflove365 project. I have a 5×6 grid of 1″ squares mapped out, so I am committed to the month. Who wants to join me? I am drawing something I like about myself everyday. Feel free to join and post your squares to my SelfLove365 group, too.

I also began a #selflove365 video project today. There was a lot of mental chatter trying to prevent me from doing it, which is why I knew it was the right thing for me to do. My brain gets scared when I have an idea that will lead to me feeling good about myself. Follow me on Facebook to watch the videos.

Let Love In.

By Filed Under: Painting, SelfLove365, Studio Tuesday Tagged With: , , , , , ,

When I feel unlovable, it is often because I simply am not letting love in. I have built up my walls, mistakenly thinking that they will protect me from being hurt, when really, they are just hurting me by keeping love out. These walls build up slowly, sometimes, without me even noticing I am doing it, or quickly, as a defensive reaction.

Here are some ways that I know to keep the walls from building:

When I am paid a compliment, I don’t return it with a compliment. I say thank you, and repeat the words to myself silently. Take it in! Giving compliments helps, too.

Breathing, consciously. I forget this one as easily as I forget that I am breathing. Breathing with awareness brings me to my heart, allowing it to open.

Allowing any glimmers of emotion to surface and be what they will, without shoving them back down.

Dancing! When my body is in flow, walls can’t be built. Pretty straight forward.

Giving myself permission to be vulnerable in my expression of my needs.

Please share any ideas you have to keep an open heart. <3 Click HERE for more about the painting.
