Featured Painting by Judith HeartSong
Judith HeartSong
Judith Olivia HeartSong is a professional artist of more than twenty-five years with a penchant for exuberant color. As a painter she creates splashy watercolors featuring abstracted women and acrylics of bold, iconic flowers. There is a seamless flow from one beautiful thing to another in her work with a dreamlike quality that delights.
An exploration of mixed media began with a course at the Crealde School of Art in Winter Park, Florida, and since then mixed media additions tend to find their way into the paintings the artist creates. Mixed media boxes incorporate words, images, and found objects housed in shadowbox forms; and most recently Artsy Mirrors and Boxes are painted and sometimes decoupaged before dozens of beautiful handmade and lampwork beads are added using solid brass nails. The beads are collected here, there, and everywhere during the artist’s travels.
The Artsy Mirrors and Artsy Boxes are an additional project in the studio while paint is drying and ideas are percolating. Busy hands are never idle for long. With an ever-changing collection of beads, Milagros from Mexico, sequins, and other decorative items, no two mirrors are alike, and each is a creative adventure. The Artsy Mirrors and Artsy Boxes are currently for sale in several galleries and shops in Maryland, DC, Delaware, and Cape May, New Jersey.
The artist has work in numerous public and private collections including the Permanent Collection of Orlando International Airport in Orlando, Florida. A painting was presented to First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton at the Inauguration in 1993, and she painted a large mural at the National Zoo in 2003. Most recently Princess Cruise Lines has made arrangements to distribute signed limited edition prints of her work on their cruise ships beginning in 2008.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US - three years old today!
WELL DONE and THANK YOU
Three years ago today the first post on Art Blogs 4 U said:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About Art Blogs 4 U
Have you ever tried to join a list of links to art blogs? (there are several around)
Did weeks go by and your name not appear?
Like to help to make THIS list a success?
If you answered YES .... then PLEASE READ ON!
HOW TO JOIN
This list is open to anyone practising 2-dimensional fine art who writes a blog about their work, but please no blogs about digital art or photography.
In the first box of the Linky below write the name exactly as you want it to appear in the list, e.g. Sarah Doe, or Sarah Doe's Art, or The Complete Doodler, etc.
In the second box add URL to your blog only (i.e. no websites).
Links will be added to the main list on a regular basis - but even if this is delayed for any reason your link will be on view in the Linky list so you can't lose!
Placing a reciprocal link to this site on your own blog would be very much appreciated and will help to increase traffic to the list.
N.B. Blog owner reserves the right to remove the link to any blog that is not about 2-dimensional art or which contains lewd, libellous or otherwise offensive material.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So where are we three years on? ..........
Well, like Topsy, we grew until over 250 artist links had been added to the site by October 2009.
However, following the recent (incredibly time consuming) link check, at least 80 out of those 250 artists were found to a) have removed their reciprocal link, b) closed their blogs and moved to websites, or c) their blog links no longer worked.
Currently AB4U membership stands at 170 artist bloggers ............ and a BIG THANK YOU goes to those artist members still blogging about their art and maintaining their links
