Hello! Thank you for visiting ‘Making it up as i go’ (2me4art.com)…that is all of us, is it not? I am a self taught artist, photographer & blogger. I’d include writer, but i am still learning how to accomplish that without sounding like an idiot. I have a terrible habit of writing, then hitting ‘Publish’ or ‘send’ and then editing at a much later date, if ever. Which is why you will find errors throughout.
I am a Vermonter to my core…alas life as seen fit to have me live out my days in Alabama. I do love Alabama with the exception of August, which is akin to Hell, i would imagine.
I share my little corner of Birmingham, Alabama (& my trips home to Vermont & trips to the Gulf Coast) with my camera, paintbrush, colored pencils, acrylic, oil, oil pastels, etc and i my art projects with my art class kids. I also LOVE buying junk & making it into something cool. It is more fun than shopping like a normal person. I Love to garden. I love growing everything…if something i plant dies, it wasn’t meant to be & now i can go buy something else! I plant flowers, herbs, veggies, blueberries, strawberries…i am happiest outside playing in the dirt.
I am combining all my loves together here. I will warn you however, I do ramble on & babble. And all my writing mistakes? forgive me, i have a hard time sitting still. I’ve got stuff to make.
thanks for the visit.
Peace,
amy
p.s. I am a huge BUY LOCAL fan. I visit cool, privately owned stores around me & shoot their cool stuff. I do this because small business owners are our neighbors. These brave neighbors make our small cities or towns a better place. It means our money stays in our towns. We have to support them, otherwise we will be a world of ugly corporate giants like Walmarts (gasp) everywhere. And we cannot allow that to happen. Buy Local…easy enough…shop Farmer’s Markets, Art galleries, Nurseries, and Gift shops.
Amy, I am an Artist from Chicago originally, now an Art Teacher here in Cincinnati Ohio. Your Blog caught my eye, and when I saw your name it intrigued me more. My mother’s maiden name was Begun. Any long lost relatives from Chicago? Anyway, your children are beautiful and your blog is awesome. Teri Hiudt

Hi Robert…glad to know i’m not the only one who publishes posts without editing until later. What would you like to know about my photography? Really, i do make some money shooting family photos & events. Not enough to live on, but enough for groceries. I’ve been shooting since i was 8 years old. I was developing & printing when i was in high school & making money shooting friends & some families. I really take photos because i have to. I see so many beautiful things begging to be taken, so i do take them. I decided to share what i shoot here because, really…my family has seen enough already. I am an artist, i work by commission only. That is where i make my money. I’ve got three right now. So i’ve been painting all morning. I LOVE the name of your blog!

I always thought i am an artist because i have no self confidence at all, i pretty much felt failing art was to be expected. But now i think that as children we had to do everything in school, even if we sucked at it. As adults, we chose the things we are good at & avoid the rest. Adults are far too intimidated to try art again, because they know they will not get the results they want without failing. but we have to fail at everything first, it is how we learn. which is why i teach adults super simple toys or something silly to start out with. I am going to post, “how to draw everything in the whole wide world” this post is years in the making, but i’ve broken what we see in life into the simplest way possible. i hope you’ll check it out. ~amy

Thank you for taking the photo of me with the painting.

We should start a campaign to ban SUVs Amy. Over here (in the UK) they’re known as Chelsea tractors – because the yummy mummies in Chelsea block the roads with them outside private schools when they drop off darling Tarquin and Gorgeous Tamara. I understand why you need one if you are ranching or working the land but not in a city please!

Hi Amy, I’m very pleased you’ve decided to follow my blog, how was it you got there?!
I find your blog simply spectacular; I love, mainly, three things of your photography: the colors, the freshness, and the D90!
I quickly Scrolled down you home page for a (long) while, enjoying your fabulous images, and I got fascinated by two of them: “Soft Curves” https://2me4art.com/2014/07/05/soft-curves/
and the second photo in “Playing with M on her 18th Birthday” https://2me4art.com/2014/05/19/playing-with-m-on-her-18th-birthday/dsc_0053-2-5/#main; for me, they both are GREAT images.
Congrats for your BEAUTIFUL Blob!

Hello Jaime, your blog is very beautiful. I found you via the wordpress reader. I always look for other photographers who share the same passion for it as i do. I can learn so much about technique & i can find people from all over the world. It is so wonderful to find a personal way to connect with like minded people.
Playing with M was a wonderful experience b/c she is my daughter’s best friend & she had hair down to the small of her back, she came in with my daughter to show me her new haircut & I begged her to let me shoot her. The soft curves image jumped out at me while I was walking around on a very hot day, i think i was drawn to the softness of the curve among all that brick & steel.
Thank you for your amazing compliments & I look forward to seeing more of your posts in my reader.

I am very grateful for your words. I am grateful that you believe in what I’m trying to do. Southern life through the eyes of a Vermonter.

Thank you, Sophie for the follow. My middle child is a Sophie. She is an amazing artist, but at 12 can’t admit it. Before puberty hit, she had no doubts with her creations. Puberty gave her self doubt. I teach art to kids before the hormones because their freedom is contagious. I look forward to seeing you in my reader. ~amy

Hi Amy, I teach art to 16 plus, it is very hard getting the students to explore, and very frustrating! Tell your Sophie that Sophie’s don’t care what people think because if they are mean they aren’t worth our time, our creativity is what makes us special and fabulous! Xs
LikeLike
Ha. You teach kids with hormones…too self-centered & insecure at the same time. Ages 12+ are no longer fun for me to teach. I need the younger ones that are still uninhibited by what their results may be–they don’t worry about the end result only the process…i.e. living in the moment. It is that age that has freed my own limits of exploration. I taught Sophie all that I could & she excelled, the rest is up to her & who she wants to be! Its very nice to talk to another art teacher. I’ve done 15+ before. Too much texting, whispering, condescending. I wish you luck!! Thank you, Sophie. ~amy

I miss Vermont to my very marrow. When I was a Vermonter, I read books about the South. I thought they were so interesting. It is not. Southerners know my accent is not theirs, I am treated kindly but not as a familiar. Summers here are too hot & we treat them just like Vermonter’s treat winter, only opposite- run from a/c to a/c. So I miss summers! Last time I went home, I called my Alabama husband, bawling- that I didn’t want to go home, ever. I will move home someday.
