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.

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.)

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!!!

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
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
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.
Elizabeth Scherer
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 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.

Self Love

This painting began as a collaborate effort with the brave people who stopped by to help me out at the last FosterMAK show.

One of my favourite things about painting live is encouraging people to use a paintbrush, especially the ones who say, “You don’t want me… I will ruin your painting!

But the best thing, by far, is sharing the canvas with children who fully embrace the title of ARTIST. There are many elements of this painting that were done by the children who helped me out that day, just as much of my art is created by the child within me.

“Self Love”, 24″ x 24″, acrylic on cradled wood panel, $720. Purchase here.

Spring

I think a lot about life and why I’m here. A recent death in the one of my communities has me contemplating this more than usual. The conclusion I am quickly coming to is that I am here to experience the physical world: through emotion, through connection, and especially, through this home that is my body. It guides me to dance, to experience pleasure and pain to my fullest, and today, to paint. I will keep following my body’s cues.

“Spring”, 6″ x 6″, acrylic on canvas. $160.

Studio Tuesday: I am loved.

I am struggling today with this- feeling loved. I was having a really hard time with this painting, and every time I put on a layer that I thought was a mistake (and yes, I know: no mistakes), I kept putting myself down (pretty sure I called myself fuckface at one point).

Because of this, I feel like an absolute failure at the whole self love thing, which then makes me wonder if I am getting anywhere with it. Maybe I don’t need to get anywhere. My ego keeps me stuck. It keeps me searching outside myself for answers, for love, for permission, for sanity.

So I keep painting to remind myself that I am loved.

“I am loved”, acrylic on canvas, 5″ x 5″ $140.

Pay What You Want!

It’s #tbt and time to PAY WHAT YOU WANT!

I used to feel there was something missing from my art – the feeling of wild, carefree fun and play. Now I can see that it’s not so much that there was something lacking, but that I just hadn’t tapped into it yet. My older paintings show another side of me: the controlled, organized, methodical nature in me, but I think the colours give a hint to my other parts.

1. Today only, send me a message telling me about how you have changed in the past four years.

2. What is your offer? (Shipping and handling are extra).

3. I will contact you tomorrow!

PAY WHAT YOU WANT!

I continually need to remind myself that just because I this isn’t “serious” art, doesn’t mean it isn’t important. I have so much fun playing with colour. And as my wonderful friend Lindsay Murdoch reminded me, FUN IS IMPORTANT.

1. Today only, send me a message telling me how you have fun, or any other thoughts on fun.

2. What is your offer? (Shipping and handling are extra).

3. I will contact you tomorrow!

I Need To Know If I Am Bad or Good

By Filed Under: Blog, Growth, Painting Tagged With: , , , ,

Yesterday I felt strong, today I feel overwhelmed.
I want support, and I fear I am being too much.
My perception of who I am is cracking and the old me is desperately clinging on, raging, being really nasty.

This painting I completed yesterday has a little of everything: childhood images of safety, recent exploration of sexual healing, proclamations of self-love and windows of vulnerability.

"I Need To Know if I Am Bad or Good" 24" x 24", $750

“I Need To Know if I Am Bad or Good” 24″ x 24″, $750
