Just keep swinging!

Hey you guys!

Long time no post!

I’ve been super busy but I’m updating you now! I wanted to share a photo of an artwork that I made from my last stream. I also talk a bit about it, etc. This is not everything that I made on my stream but to see details, you will have to come visit me!

If you would like to see my lives, go to:

https://www.twitch.tv/angelasartarea

I am live each Thursday at 3pm.! I’d love to see you there.

Please note that I do not wish to be like everyone else and do not show my face. That may change one day but right now all you can see are my hands. Please also note that twitch is 100% free. My twitch link will not ask you for money, etc.

I’m also still trying to get everything to work correctly. Putting on lives means you are in charge of the Camera, Audio, lighting, etc. You are in charge of it all and that’s ALOT of work for one person.

I figure my art should be entertaining enough though.

Anyway, this piece was made after someone suggested swings. As said earlier, I talk a bit more about swings later and NO that was not planned.

I didn’t even come up with this suggestion. Someone else did.

As always I added pink, purple and blue for bi-sexuality awareness too!

I LOVE eyes so added those in as well.

You’ll notice that everything is not perfect in this drawing and that’s the way I like it. No drawing, painting, etc. of mine will be perfect.

I am not nor will I ever be a realistic artist.

Life itself is anything but perfect. In my point of view it’s more realistic to be unrealistic.

I do love some realistic art as well. I am NOT putting it down and truly believe that all art has it’s place.

My drawings, paintings, etc. are based on my life, etc. though. Some think when my art is messy that it’s childlike, etc.

I think the word truthful is a better description of it because my life is a messy one. It’s not perfect. I tend to believe that perfection is a lie people tell themselves in order to get through the day. You have to follow more rules or guidelines when creating realistic art. I like to simply create from my soul with no rules, guidelines to follow, just feelings to express.

Some well-known artists, etc. turn to alcohol or drugs, why? I truly believe that is because they do not know how beautiful they are without drugs or alcohol. They want to numb the feelings of frustration that comes from thinking they are not perfect just as they are. Those feelings are part of the reason some can express themselves so well though. Which is why a song, painting, sketch, poem, etc. is usually attached to a feeling or time in someones life.

Art is an expression of feelings. Even art that is simply created to create is infact created to get away from what is going on in the world, etc. Which in itself is an expression of the frustration going on today.

Often times, you will see that work had some bigger meaning that was unknown at the time it was created. At least, that’s the way it is with me. Just so you know, I do not believe that I am all knowing. I don’t think anyone is.

I think we are all learning though and the unknown can come straight through any of us! It’s simply a question of can we handle it or will it drive us mad?

Artists like the late Johnny Cash for example would drive himself crazy without the help of June Carter. She helped calm him so that he could see the beauty he added to the world.

In seeing that beauty, his works touched the hearts of many that needed it. His works were meant to touch others, as are the works of other artists so if you are a artist and can, please go out into the world to touch lives. Each individual person may not always see it but artists do touch lives because we are meant to. THAT is the power of the unknown. Speaking of Johnny Cash again, all the fame, etc. in the world couldn’t give Johnny what June could because she could help him to see his worth. He simply didn’t know how to look inside and know that worthiness was there without her help.

Sometimes another soul, male or female is needed to help us through life. That also does NOT apply only to ONE part of the world. That applies to EVERYONE EVERYWHERE!

Couples are like swings. Some swings cannot move on their own, they need a partner to help push them along. Other times, we are strong enough to know how to get through life ourselves and make our swings move on our own.

It’s always nice to have a friend to share life with though.

The same goes for many artists, etc. What some call the other half of their soul helps calm them so they can remember the beauty that they have to give to the world. Only after remembering their worth can their swings actually move.

People are getting closer and closer to remembering their worth on their own. Which is why I personally think many nolonger need soul-mates in the same way.

Some still do though. I truly believe we ALL will forever need true life friends who are there for us, and remind us that we are not alone in this thing called life.

Interestingly enough, some do not think of it that way, etc. That’s ok too! Still, that is the way I see it.

Some also think that has to be a man and woman but in reality men have souls just as women have souls. Due to that, it doesn’t come down to a man and a woman, it comes down to souls. What soul is best for or needs what soul, is a question that is beyond anyone on this earth too.

I cannot say that I believe as some do.

I do not believe we can choose who is meant to be in our lives.Which is why if you are in love with someone else, you cannot make them love you back. Some need to let go and realise that their soul was either meant for anothers or it wasn’t. You cannot choose that, you do not have that power. Nobody does! We only have the power to accept what we cannot change and live for today.

Many times in life, souls are meant to run into eachother for one reason or another. That does not mean those souls are meant to be together forever though.That is not the call of anyone on earth. We are grounded to the earth because some things should be left to the unknown. Sometimes it’s best for people to let go and move on in life so that they can live and others can be free to live as well.

You do not need to be what others think of as perfect in life in order to run into the soul you are meant to though, you simply need to be YOU. To let it be and accept that the unknown chooses the rest. Remembering that the unknown is not on this earth. Whatever soul is best for you will find you. So just keep swinging….

Until next time.

Namaste,

Angela
