We are a group of artists from all over the country that met online through mutual admiration of each other's work. Our mission is to use our artwork for good and to spread kindness — to “pay it forward.” Every month, we do an online event, offering our work for sale. Twenty percent of every sale goes to a pre-determined charitable organization. Since our group started in July, 2018, we've donated $18,936.93! This group of women are amazing artists but more than that, truly have the biggest hearts and so much compassion. Even though we've never met in person, there is connection and community among us.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">You can find Petunia and our Creative Kind group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCreativeKindArtists" target="_blank">here</a>.

and cannot find them anywhere I look. I
want to do the right things and move in the right direction. Sometimes, I think because I am always moving
and searching, the answers keep eluding me.
In these moments, I know in my heart, that I need a time out, that I
just need to breathe and “be still”.
This wise owl knows it too and he is a good reminder to stop, be still,
and truly listen for the answers.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: verdana;">This painting is sold, but commissions are welcome.

from the heart. Finally, I would spot
it. The Perfect One. Inhale in, a deep breath, the wish. Exhale out, with hope and child-like
faith. The wish. This painting is a symbolic reminder to never
give up. Deep breaths in, deep breaths
out.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This painting is sold, but commissions are welcome.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My Dad recently passed away and in moving through and navigating this difficult season, I have to say that I’ve learned many lessons. This painting was inspired by one of those lessons and I'd like to share with you what I learned. Kindness. Plain, simple, kindness.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">I know, we talk about it all the time. We even wear shirts saying “Be Kind” or “Kindness Matters”. But do we really walk the talk. Is kindness and the idea of it something we feel in our hearts and in the depths of our souls? Is kindness just a passing t</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;">hought or a “nice” idea? How often do we meditate on it? Well, I have been thinking about it. A lot.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Have you considered the person that just “cut in front of you” on the highway? Maybe, just maybe, it was a single mother, late to work because her baby was sick. Maybe she was on the verge of losing her job because this was the second time in two weeks she was late and she has no support system. No close family or friends who can help her out during this difficult time with her sick child. </span></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Consider the man who bumped into you at the grocery store and didn’t make eye contact or say “excuse me”. He was in a daze and he should "watch what he's doing". Could it be that he is buying groceries to carry home to his spouse who is dealing with a terrible disease? </span></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Maybe someone you work with “blows up for no reason”. Maybe privately, they are waiting on test results to confirm a diagnosis that they never expected. A diagnosis that could turn his life upside down and affect his family in a devastating way.</span></span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My point is, everyone truly is fighting a battle. Instead of grumbling or passing judgement, we could just show people some grace and give them a break. We could take it one step further and offer a smile or open the door for someone. Instead of just saying “call me if you need anything”, actually take it a step further. Come over and sit with them and talk to them, listen to them, cry with them. Offer to watch the kids for an hour so Mom can run an important errand and not have to worry about getting the kids out. Cook a meal or bring a gift card for pizza for someone who is not able to do it. Visit a nursing home. Simply just smile, make eye contact with someone, start a casual conversation…put your phone down and be in the moment with someone. These are some of the things I intend to do in the future for hurting people. I won’t always get it right, I know this...I seldom get it right. But I am grateful for the lesson and I will do my best to honor this lesson while I’m here. Because kindness really, really does matter.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of the advantages of Facebook is that we have the chance to get our artwork "out there". In doing so, I met the most amazing group of artists. We collaborate every month to auction our work off and donate a portion of our sales to a different charity each month. It's our way of giving back and paying it forward.</span><br />

GRRACE (Golden Retriever Rescue and Community Education) is committed to locating and rescuing Golden Retrievers in need throughout my home state of Indiana. They take in Goldens when their owners no longer want them, when they are abandoned at shelters, or when they are picked up as strays. Their volunteers have such passion and comm</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;">itment for these wonderful animals.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've said this before, but honestly, I can't say it enough. I am so absolutely blown away that I get to participate in a group where the artists have the biggest hearts on the face of the planet. They work so hard to produce work that will touch lives and make a positive difference in our world. I'm always honored that I get to work alongside them and I never want to take this opportunity for granted.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">This month, our group, the Creative Kind, has chosen a very special charity called S</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;">aving Innocence. Here is a little bit about what this organization does:<br />Saving Innocence provides escape from trafficking for child victims of sex trafficking 24 hours a day – 7 days a week. Using a highly relational and collaborative approach, we give children on-the-ground help exclusively in the U.S. by utilizing strategic partnerships with law enforcement, social service providers and schools, while mobilizing communities to prevent abuse and increase neighborhood safety.<br />"I raise up my voice—not so I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard...we cannot succeed when half of us are held back."</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />This is a very special piece that will be available next week for our Creative Kind Auction on FB. My dear friend, Jenny Grant and I collaborated on this piece when she was visiting from Stockholm, Sweden. Since we are donating to such a special charity this month, Jenny and I are excited to share this piece and make it available. The title is “The Guardian”. It is mixed media with a thin layer of encaustic. I hope you take the time to join us this month on the 28th and 29th...let’s raise some money to donate and raise awareness for this worthy cause. </span></span></div>

<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the Silence began with a stark, white, canvas. As I began thinking about this painting and what I wanted to "say" with it, I added vintage text and vintage musical notes. I added glazes and layers of paint so that just a portion of the text shows through. I added more layers of ink with stencils and then wiped it away. I used inks to create the many layers and branches of the trees, as well as the moody atmosphere in this piece.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As I was creating, I thought about how we all start out as a "blank canvas". We begin to add rich layers to our lives, with words, with music, with emotions. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Sometimes, there are things we can't say and feelings we can't express. These words, feelings, emotions</span> begin to tell our stories. And sometimes, we cover up those layers, those feelings, those words, much like I covered up part of this canvas with paint. We stay silent. We have no words to express how we feel. Even so, we are rooted and we grow. Our branches seek the light through the darkness. Through experiences in our lives, we branch out, we grow, we learn., We add layers of color, richness, and texture to our lives. Sometimes, the messiness turns into unexpected beauty, much like this painting did.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I can finally share this piece! I think it's become one of my favorites. This was a commission piece for my husband's sweet Aunt. She loves butterflies and she had seen another piece that I had completed last year and asked if I would create something along the same lines for her. Although this didn't turn out to be an exact replica of the piece I created before, I love this one even more. It is lighter and more luminescent than the other was. I added 5 butterflies representing her "original family". Now, the family has evolved and transformed, with the blessing of grandchildren and spouses. I feel like this painting symbolizes the evolution of life...how it can change and become even more beautiful than we ever dreamed possible.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So many exciting things happened this month! I was honored to have been interviewed by <a href="http://voyagedenver.com/interview/meet-donna-martin-fine-art-castle-rock/">Voyage Denver</a>. The article told a little about my background and life as an artist. </span></div>
