ART FOR YOUR SCREENS - AUGUST EDITION - MEHYT, THE DISTANT GODDESS
August 2019
Hello everyone! its August hurrah! I hope you will be taking a well earned holiday this month whilst the sun is shining and the beach is calling!
This month's 'Art For Your Screens' features the Nubian/Egyptian goddess Mehyt, she is named as such because she was the consort of Onuris, a hunter god who tracks down Mehyt in Nubia and brings her to Egypt as his wife.
The file can be found here

Such a sweet and romantic story, it has made me want to learn more about the mythology of Nubia in particular and the various gods and goddesses of the region.
Art For Your Screens is a new way of owning and displaying art on your digital devices such as a computer display or digital TV.
The artwork can be used as a screensaver or wallpaper and is a fantastic way to have artwork displayed in your office or home.
Mehyt - The Distant Goddess is a mythical being originating from Nubia and Egypt, she is represented here with colourful paper cut flowers in her hair and a beautiful side profile.

New Painting * Love in a time of Ebola - Acrylic on Canvas
July 2019
Hello!!! Long time! I hope everyone is well?
Things have been a bit quiet here but lots has been happening behind the scenes most of which have been documented on my instagram here
https://www.instagram.com/joanneseale
But I will try to start a new weekly news roundup for my blog and website. Watch this space!!
So this new painting sort of evolved from an abstract art exercise that developed into a painting about current affairs.
It is called 'Love in a time of Ebola' and features acrylic on canvas.. Yes I am now working regularly on canvas!!
The painting sort of just appeared but it started with the eyes.
I don't know where the Ebola reference came from but it was probably something that I had been reading and thinking about.
The 2 figures sort of look like either space travellers or androids and that meant something to me too.
But art is really about what you see in an image.
This painting is about affection, needs, love, distance, restriction, health, humanity etc etc.

New Quotes Lady* You Are Enough - Acrylic Ink and Paint on Paper
June 2019
Hello everyone! I hope you are well?
Yesterday I finished another quotes lady!! Whoo! In this painting I wanted to express how often we can look outside ourselves for validation and assurance that everything is ok.
But I think it is true to say that resting in ones self and being true to yourself can offer the best sense of wholeness and security possible.
It can take a lot of work to get to that stage, a lot of people refer to this as 'The Work' but I think it is a journey we all need to go on for a more fulfilling life.

New Painting * Elephant Hawk Moth - Acrylic on Canvas
June 2019
I love painting moths! It has been a while since I've made a nature painting so I decided to paint a Elephant Hawk-Moth!
The colours are delicious, like strawberry and lemon sorbet, it's form is so sublime and aerodynamic that I decided to accentuate the lines to create an almost arrow-like shape.
It makes me wonder how many millions of years it took for nature to create something of such perfection. Can you imagine if you or I were given that task??
This will be the first canvas that I am putting up for sale, I am learning to let go of my paintings and offer them to new homes :)

New Painting - The Cracks - Acrylic on paper
June 2019
Hello everyone! I hope you are well.
I've been managing to work on quite a few new paintings and paper projects recently, its so nice to be in the flow of creating again, it took quite a lot of effort to get back on track but hopefully it will be a smooth and interesting ride from here on in.
This painting was inspired by a Life Book 2018 lesson, I love the texture in the painting the curved forms and earth tones. I can't say i've ever made a painting like this before but would like to make more!

New Painting - Girl on Lion
April 2019
I managed to finish my ‘Girl Riding a Lion’ painting! This took for ever
due to lack of time and the fact that it’s quite a new style of art for
me.
I tried to paint it in the style of a children’s book illustration and it was a really enjoyable process.

on a giraffe in an illustrative style more suited to a children’s book.
It took a lot longer than I thought but I am very happy with the result and hope to make more in the future.

Mixed Media Painting - Temple of Light
I recently finished this painting that was inspired by a Life Book lesson by Effy Wild! Although it looks nothing like the actual lesson…I wanted to show how we all have an inner light that can either be hidden, or we can let it shine brightly, enhancing and illuminating our daily lives whilst also shining on the lives of others.
Sometimes this can be scary as we can be afraid of opening our true selves to the world for fear of disapproval, however one of my teachers, the amazing Lisa Nichols put it so perfectly when she said,
‘When your light shines too brightly for some people, just hand them a pair of sunglasses” I love that sooo much. :)

New painting** and watch me paint video 'I am Whole'
Hello everyone! I am back with a new painting and watch me paint video.
This painting was inspired by a pair of golden hands ornaments that I found in a New Age gift shop in the lovely coastal town of Folkestone.
I wanted to make a lady in the style of my Ejina character with colourful Afro hair, in the video I talk about why it is called 'I am Whole'.
I hope you enjoy it!!

Finding Peace – Music/Art video
Hello!! I decided to make a new format of painting fast forward video which is more like a music video. I used to mix live visuals at events when I started my creative journey and it was fun to incorporate some of thos clips into a painting fast forward. The music is ‘I Saw You’ by Black Sun Empire
I’ve always loved Drum and Bass music, mostly because it is hectic and chaotic, which weirdly enough makes me feel more relaxed.. lol
As a little bonus here is one of the first videos I ever produced! It was filmed at a warehouse party callled the ‘Ministry of Unsound’ which was run by a freind, we had some amazingly wonderful times there!!

New Painting - Sweet Girl and Cat
I managed to finish another sweet girl and cat painting, I am much happier with this one as I feel I gave it my full attention whilst taking it very slowly, enjoying the process of painting and figuring out how I wanted her to look etc.
She came out a bit lighter in skin tone than I expected, I think ‘High Yella’ is the term used in the USA :D
My next painting will feature a girl wth much darker skin and possibly plaits.

New Painting - Woman's back with angel wings
I wanted to try to paint wispy angels wings for this painting of a woman's back which was inspired by the Donna Downey lesson for Lifebook 2015.
I practiced painting the wings in white translucent and opaque paints until I was happy with the technique, the painting of the back was made with water soluble crayon and tranparent white paint.
