Move Your Body“Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own…”

Move your body, no matter the size or restrictions.  In movement we learn what our bodies can do, and we can learn to love them.  Love your body, love the skin you are in.

I really like how this one came out.  I painting this from a photo I saw on tumblr, reblogged and shared so often I can’t find the original poster or photographer, but it was inspiring.

Daily Creativity: Apple Shaped?

Apple ShapedWe’ve all heard it before.  Are you a pear shape?  An apple shape?  You’re neither. You’re person shaped.  People come in different shapes and sizes, we aren’t apples, we aren’t pears, we’re people.

Enjoy your body, express it, and love it.  Don’t put it down, find what you like about it, even if you have to use someone else’s eyes.  You wouldn’t allow someone to be so negative about your friends, so why allow yourself to be so negative about you?

Love Your BodyHere we have the third in the “Love Your Body” series, this time without the words actually on the canvas.  Again I like the heart right in the form.  I painted this using the ArtRage app on my iPad and changed the texture of the paper to be much rougher.I’m pleased with the effect.

I really like how this series is progressing and I think I will be paining something in the series in oils some day soon.

Daily Creativity: Love Your Body (the first)

Love Your BodyThe other day I posted a painting I did with the theme of “Love Your Body.”  What you don’t know is that isn’t the first I did of that series.  Back in July I painted this with the same theme in mind, but I never uploaded it because I was sans internet for a few weeks.

I remember not being too happy with the piece back then, but now when I look at it I’m very happy with it.  I really like what I did here.  It just goes to show that sometimes when you’re creating you need to step away from the project and get some perspective.  It works with design, writing, painting, and pretty much anything creative.

I hope to do more in this series.  It seems to have struck a cord with some people, and I think that’s a good thing.

Love Your Body!Last night when I should have been sleeping, but couldn’t if my life depended on it, I made this.  I love the idea of the heart right in the middle of her body, her body was making the shape, I had to add it.  Love your body is an idea I can get behind.  We all are raised to hate our bodies, to worry over the imperfections and while trying to improve one’s self is always a nobel cause, hating your body or self is not.  You can love your body and still want to improve.  I love my big fat body and I push it to move more and push it to do things and change shape, but at the same time, loving it.  You may be fat, skinny, blemished, stretch marked, oddly proportioned (according to magazines that airbrush and photoshop everything), muscled, lacking muscle definition, pigeon chested, a crooked spine, a limp, other special needs, your body is wonderful because it’s yours and you should love it.
