Project:"Believe"

Posted by Stephanie Temple on Monday, January 31, 2011,
Today, I was looking back on my college years. So many times I wanted to give up and "just forget it". Did I? No, I continued to give it my best and move forward. Believe it or not, most people have this mentality. Doubt always seems to be an obstacle in itself. Before any progress is ever made, your mind should be made up to battle it out with this little monster called "Doubt". It does not matter who you are, this little monster comes knocking at all of our doors every once in awhile and mo...

"Sakura Dreams" by SNT

Posted by Stephanie Temple on Friday, January 28, 2011,
Today is filled with lots of energy, and I need to focus that energy on ONE thing. A task many people struggle with indeed. For myself, I struggle with it more often than I wish. So today will be focus on my ideas and sketch work for my upcoming painting called "Sakura Dreams". Sakura is another name for cherry blossom. I love Japan and all the beautiful landscape that is there. Lots of culture and mystical places surround Japan. The cherry blossom is what blooms from a cherry tree. And each ...

Digital Reproductions Coming Soon ;D

Posted by Stephanie Temple on Friday, January 28, 2011,
Wow!  Good News! After doing some research, I have decided to reproduce my artwork on canvas. This is a much better option for the consumer and really for myself. By choosing this option, I can lower the cost of each painting by quite a bit. And my painting(s) can land its magical and whimsical state in many homes around the world :) This is going to make my art affordable to many and exactly what I really want. So what will this be like and look like? I have no idea! So I ordered some sample...

Organization!

Posted by Stephanie Temple on Thursday, January 27, 2011,
The key to any success is "organization". Remember the days in school where mom and dad would crawl you if you had papers hanging out of bookbags and lockers. Yes, this is a skill that takes time and practice. You should have seen my work space prior to this photo *lol*. Well, here is some of my work space. I still have a long way to go. But this is a start. Something just came over me to clean it all up. And so here is the result...

New Layout

Posted by Stephanie Temple on Wednesday, January 26, 2011,
Good morning everyone! As you may have noticed, I have been playing with the website for the past couple of days trying to get it to look just like I want it to. Each day, I find something new to add or take away. This is one reason why I gave myself a month to figure it all out. I knew I would be back to make revisions or see it differently the next day. I changed the banner heading to my own artwork "Last Wish". And decided to add some cool games to the "Fun Stuff" section, And by the way, ...

Inspiration

Posted by Stephanie Temple on Tuesday, January 25, 2011,
Good morning everyone! And I do hope you are having a good day :) This morning I was needing some spiritual inspiration. Sometimes I wake up feeling a heaviness to my very being, and I really can't explain it other than that. But the "heavy" feeling usually is because I have not been to church in a while or simply have not prayed. So, after fixing my morning cup of coffee, I turned on the TV, and up pops Joyce Meyer. Just the person I needed to hear this morning! Some days are just better tha...

The Wind of My Soul

Posted by Stephanie Temple on Sunday, January 23, 2011,
Good morning everyone! Well, today is going to hopefully much better than yesterday. Some days are just better than others if you know what I mean. Today I want to work more on "Crystal Forest". I started this last night and realized that the background was too dark. So I think I will lighten it up a bit and try to get it just the perfect mix of blues and some purples. This morning I was listening to an older song called "The Wind" by Cat Stevens. If you don't know who Cat Stevens is, don't f...

New Painting

Posted by Stephanie Temple on Friday, January 21, 2011,
Today, I have started a new painting called "Crystal Forest". This one is going to be a typical wooded, serene, and mystical painting. The thoughts of being able to jump into this painting and follow the path in the forest make me wonder where it will lead. This painting will hopefully speak to people in a special way. So today will be a day of painting and revising the site. The checkout will not work until March 1st, 2011. Many new and exciting paintings are coming around the corner! Yes, t...

The Webpage

Posted by Stephanie Temple on Thursday, January 20, 2011,
This morning I am going to be working on several things. I got a busy Thursday today! I love this section of my website :) I can actually ramble and not feel guilty I am taking up a whole status page on Facebook LOL! And I like this idea better because I can get more focused on the projects ahead while updating my friends and customers that truly like my artwork. So now that I got that little bit o' info out of the way. The website is coming along. Some of you may be wondering why you can't s...
