Recently, I have finished my art book, titled
“It All Comes Out In the Wash”
Written to inspire creativity in the artist and full of
valuable information, hope, and inspiration.
Dedicated in memory of one whom I loved very much, and
miss.
Now I’m just searching for the means to get it published.

A New Page
(A combination of thought and reflection)
God is all around me, He’s everywhere I look and each new day is
but a new page in “Gods Coloring Book” One of my favorite songs by
Dolly Parton.
I’m often reminded of a scripture. That faith is the substance of
things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. There is
evidence. We can see it in nature and the wonderful people that touch
our lives everyday. It’s everywhere, in everything that’s beautiful if
we just take time to look.
Each new day is but a new page in each of our lives, and each new
day comes with no guarantees or the guarantee that tomorrow we’ll get
to turn a new page. We cannot erase the pages of time but we can learn
how to embrace them.
I can only hope that somewhere along the way I have made some
difference in another’s life.
There are many that made the biggest difference in my own (and
there is not enough room to mention all on this page) but one of them
is DAN.
Not speaking for myself, but for the extraordinary people I have
been blessed enough to meet on DAN; With-in every piece of beautiful
work of art lies a beautiful heart. The artist is truly seen in their
work. I have been fortunate enough to gain a truly wonderful
friendship and have heard the most touching, life stories of these
incredible people. DAN is full of faith, inspiration and hope.
I am very thankful to be a part of it.
Thank-you Wanda!
And Laurie, you have touched my life!

Artist
Mrs. Marcia Rankin
I am 49 years old. The mother of two wonderful daughters
whom have passed blessings to me by sharing their wonderful families with
me. I have been a diabetic for 34 years with complications and also
have an anxiety disorder.
I am an abstract/experimental artist.
I have been drawing and painting since childhood.
I am self taught.
My subjects vary, but remain with-in the theme of nature
and creation
ARTISTS STATEMENT
I love art. It's my main
interest and pleasure. It's healing, relaxing, and a way to release.
It's a reflection of my deepest feelings and comes directly from my
heart. A reflection of the things I love, the things that frighten me,
and a presentiment of people; all the pains, sorrows, and joys that we
all experience. I believe that we all experience equally these feelings
at some point or another in our lives even though we are all different
and unique in our own special ways. Unfortunately the sorrows are so
sorrowful but the joys are so joyful. As they say, people make the world
go round.
There are many excellent
artists that I feel are far better than me. However I am a perfectionist
at what I do and I like my work and am satisfied with it.
As a Home Health Aide, I
felt I had something to give back to society because the preservation of
human dignity was always foremost and my biggest concern, but I have not
the physical capabilities to do this now and I feel my art is another
way.
What else can I possibly
say because I will be an artist until the day that I die.

I’ve started a series of abstract paintings
called “The Symphony of Nature”.
I will begin with “symphony of trees” and so on, such as
“symphony of spring”, “symphony of flowers” etc.
I plan to complete six 11x14 paintings for this series. Working
with vibrant watercolor. My own depiction of nature in all of it’s
glory and color.
I am very excited about this new project. I love abstract and
impression, and of course nature! This is a new venture for me in
the world of abstract and very healing and important to me.
The brighter side of life. I see nature as a symphony, a
beautiful melody.
I hope other’s to enjoy, and they bring a smile, or meaning to
the life of another. I will post as completed.
Four sold and two more to complete.

God, reading and books help me to change and
grow.
One of my favorites is “The Yoga of Discipline”
A good one for discovering self help.
I can change myself but
I can’t save or change another person, I can
only love them, and the greatest gift I can ever give to those I
love is prayer.
Which led me to the Greatest of All,
My Higher Power, the One that I can take all my
troubles to, the One that is always there to love and to forgive.
The One who makes ALL things possible.
I believe in liberty, so whom ever our Higher
Power is to us, I have discovered that all beliefs have one
concept in common. That it all begins with our conscience.
And by the way, scientists have thoroughly
studied the human brain and haven’t found a cause for a
“conscience” yet. More evidence from above!
We live in a very harsh world, and to close our
eyes to this reality is very destructive, not just to ourselves
but to our fellow human beings.
“Change”
frightening, huh?
But we have to if we care.
James 1:25 |
