Artist's "blog": November 2009

http://bridgetteallan.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Days in the life of an artist. Friday, November 6, 2009. Many people ask about aura colour meanings. What are the meanings of aura colours? How do you interpreter auras? What does each colour mean in the aura? Everyone and everything has an aura. Our aura is filled with colours that reflect and depict each and every facets of ourselves. These colours tell everything about us and can be interpreted because each colour has a meaning. Grounded, realistic, active, strong will-power, survival-oriented. Relate...

Artist's "blog": Fear

http://bridgetteallan.blogspot.com/2010/02/fear.html

Days in the life of an artist. Friday, February 12, 2010. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits. In the presence of fate is strength undefeatable. Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear. Twenty years pass, and you realize that your life hasn't changed all that much. You've settled down. All that's really left now is to live out the remainder of your years as contently as possible and then settle yourself into the ground, where you'll finally ac...You g...

Artist's "blog": How long ?

http://bridgetteallan.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-long.html

Days in the life of an artist. Tuesday, November 3, 2009. A question I am frequently asked is “how long does it take you to do a painting”. To answer that, firstly, it depends on a number of factors. The subject matter, the size of the canvas and to what degree I am inspired to paint whatever it is I am painting. Truthfully, it takes years. By this I mean it has taken years to reach the point in which I can execute a painting in a relatively short space of time. November 3, 2009 at 10:35 AM. Bridgette Al...

Artist's "blog": July 2009

http://bridgetteallan.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Days in the life of an artist. Wednesday, July 29, 2009. The strangness of artists. A while back I received a text message from a friend of mine which read, “Just because nobody understands you, does not mean that you are an artist”. Admittedly, being labelled in this way can sometimes be attributed to peculiar behaviour (even by artist standards). Not all of us are Toms however and what would be considered peculiar by the majority of society usually has a very straightforward explanation. I, however, st...

Artist's "blog": September 2009

http://bridgetteallan.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Days in the life of an artist. Saturday, September 19, 2009. I have finally taken the plunge and enrolled to study again. I have yet to discover where I am going to find the time amongst running a home , working and trying to civilize three teenagers , but as with most things in life , if we aspire to something badly enough , we will find a way to achieve it . Colour surrounds us; it feeds and nourishes our senses. We see it, feel it and absorb it. Right from the wearing of black and white to represent d...

Artist's "blog": August 2009

http://bridgetteallan.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Days in the life of an artist. Thursday, August 20, 2009. After a recent comment on my last blog, I decided to dabble with “digital art “for a couple of hours today. The reason behind this is that apparently digital artists are often “made to feel inferior by their painting peers.” Initially when I read this, I was somewhat taken aback, but I should not have been. This sort of artistic arrogance has been around forever. Even today artists who use oils as a medium frown upon those who chose acrylic or wat...

Artist's "blog": Venturing into PRINTS !!

http://bridgetteallan.blogspot.com/2009/12/in-last-few-weeks-i-have-been.html

Days in the life of an artist. Sunday, December 13, 2009. In the last few weeks I have been investigating the viability of producing prints of some of my work . It has taken a lot of hard work and research to find the best method of printing on the highest quality papers and canvas available but it has most certainly been worth the effort! I have created a separate business venture for the prints , primarily because the service will ultimately be extended beyond that of printing just my own art work .

Artist's "blog": Stuck in neutral

http://bridgetteallan.blogspot.com/2010/01/stuck-in-neutral.html

Days in the life of an artist. Wednesday, January 20, 2010. My one and only attempt at painting this year so far has not been particularly successful! I am extremely distracted and wrongly assumed that I would be able to rush into the studio and create in between the chaos of celebrating matric results , the anxiety of waiting to hear from universities and the incredible turmoil of trying to organize a child leaving home to study in a different province. I love colour, I thrive on it, and to me, living w...

Artist's "blog": of demons and things

http://bridgetteallan.blogspot.com/2009/11/of-demons-and-things.html

Days in the life of an artist. Tuesday, November 3, 2009. Of demons and things. I have never in the past been able to paint when feeling miserable .Many have told me that painting is excellent therapy for stress and unhappiness and yet in my experience, anything I paint whilst stressed and unhappy is usually unsellable, in fact I have often torn a canvas off its frame or thrown a painting away because I have thought it such poor quality. Very out of character, I picked up a piece of charcoal when I went ...
