Hello!
I'm Mary Beatty, AWANNABE ARTIST, although my paintings have been exhibited
professionally in state and national shows. Self-taught artists are forever
wannabes. We're continually working and learning, expecting our
next painting to be our "masterpiece."
You are cordially invited to visit these family friendly galleries - but come as
you are! No appointment necessary and the tour is free. Should you
visit at the end of a long day, just kick off your shoes and be comfortable -
nothing picture perfect here.
All pages on this site were created using 800 x
600 resolution and work best with Internet Explorer 6.0 and later. All the
pages do work at 1024 X 768 but some look a little strange at the smaller
resolution. Also, Java Scripting must be enabled in
order to view some of the pages effectively. Open Internet
Explorer/Tools/Options/Advanced Tab. Scroll down to Java (Sun) and check
the box. Now, how easy is that!
Before you wander through the
galleries, however, you are invited to go here,
THIS I BELIEVE -- My Statement of Faith (and Love Song to the Lord that may
surprise you!). Then, let's be a kid again for a few
minutes and plop on our Let's Pretend Hat! We'll tour the
WANNABE ART
STUDIO where
Teapots Talk and Teacups bear Fruits of the Spirit. Here's where you will
view many original paintings by this Wannabe Artist. Hopefully, your
own creativity will be nudged!
If you have ever said, “I would give anything to be an
artist!” or “Oh, I can’t draw a straight line!” I invite you to theI WANNABE AN ARTIST!GALLERY. You will not believe your eyes when I share six little words that
I (almost...)
guarantee
will turn you into one! You will find many tips I have spent half a lifetime learning: Tips for Portrait Painting,
Lighting, Posing, How to get a Likeness, Setting Up a Still Life, Framing
(new page completed), and Developing
Your Own Style. A pastel portrait
demonstration is being created
(new page completed) and
by faith, other demonstrations will follow.INFORMATION
will map the route that led this artist to that Pot of Gold -- and more -- at
Rainbow's end -- on to where we are today, and where we're going
Tomorrow!
A passion for five years was painting
THE
LION AND THE LAMB
SERIES.
Each of the twelve paintings is accompanied by a
selected Bible scripture. Prints from all twelve paintings are available
here. Also a little gift book, Little Prayers for Little Lambs.
You are then invited to tip toe softly through theINSPIRATIONSGALLERY
of POETRY and PROSE ... and SCRIBBLINGS.
Finally, this reminder: "There is life beyond
art!" If
that most dreaded
ALZHEIMER'S
disease has ever trampled through your beautiful life's rose garden, please join
me in the
CAREGIVER
and INTERRUPTIONS
GALLERIES.
You may want to bring a tissue.
My heart’s desire is to add something of value in this vast Cyberspace (I like
to think of it as GODSPACE). These pages are my Thank You to God for the
creative talents with which He has gifted me, and sharing them is my gift to you.
It would be my joy to know somewhere out there in Godspace someone experienced
His comfort, divine inspiration, and felt His warm smile of encouragement to
"keep on keeping on!".
So whether
you are a WANNABE or simply browsing the Internet in
GODSPACE, thanks for
stopping by! I hope you enjoy your visit.
