~.•°☆✨️"SEEDS OF BEE-COMING" 🐝🌻🌱☆°•.

[Follow my 8 painting mixed media sunflower series of my Artistic Journey from Fears to Freedom]

📝✍️🏽
What began in a sunflower 🌻 field in Italy 🇮🇹 became a journey of transformation that followed me home.

For much of my life, fear had quietly shaped my experiences, decisions, and even my creative process. During my first journey abroad ✈️ , I made a conscious decision to confront those fears through faith and prayer 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙇🏽‍♀️

Without predetermined compositions or expectations, I tore papers, assembled collages, scattered inks, and allowed colors and textures to find their own way across the surfaces. I surrendered to curiosity and the joy of discovery😊💛🧡🩵💙💜❤️🐝🌻

As the paintings developed, I encountered a familiar resistance: perfectionism 🙄🥴ugh

These paintings are not celebrations of perfection. They are celebrations of freedom 🌬🙏🏽🙌🏽💃🏽🫶🏽💪🏽

✨🎨 Wellllll... I have a little something to CeLeBRaTe & sooo many Exciting things happening in my journey that I can't keep up with myself!!🥹💃🏽💓

I am GrAtEfUL & EXCITED to share that I've been featured as the Spotlight Artist in the Chesapeake Bay Art Association newsletter!! 🌷🎨

Had an iNcReDiBLe weekend at the Chesapeake Bay Art Association 62nd Annual Fall Art Festival held at Lakewood Park Norfolk Va

The rainy weekend 🌧 ☔️ did not stop the crowds from rolling in & seeing what we all had to offer and I even SOLD 2 paintings 🐝. It was very exciting, stimulating & I connected with sooo many people. I was offered to several upcoming shows in 2027 🙌🏽🙏🏽 and my work by the crowds was said to be:

.•°☆ "Dreamy & like being in a Storybook"☆°•.
😌☺️ 📖 🧚🏽‍♀️

▪︎ My MLK painting 🖼 was Loved & offered to an upcoming show in 2027. People were drawn to the style and how I rendered the crowd. They stood & imagined all the conversations that the crowd would've been having during those times

▪︎One young man described my pink-haired🩷💁🏽‍♀️ afro girl (Unapologetically Her) as her hair being the "roots of an exciting nature and natural elements" and that he was "blown away" from it & how "deeply rooted" it felt to him 💗🫶🏽

▪︎ an artist described my Elk painting🦌🖼 (Echoes through Aspen) as something she wanted to live in & know more about & she wanted to hear the Elk calling out & Loved my color usage on him

▪︎ Several men & kids around the 7-10yr old mark Loved my Chef 👨🏽‍🍳painting 🖼 (Alchemy of Fire🔥) because it reminded them of their family time at the Hibachi grill and their love of food & how "Cool" it was to them

▪︎ My Zebra painting 🦓🖼 (Above All, Love) was said to be "Exotic, yet tender"

▪︎ My Beyoncé painting brought excitement to college aged young women & a few young men as well 🚶🏽‍♀️

▪︎ The Fox painting 🖼 [The Watcher] caught the eyes of so many and to my surprise many many kids that got locked in to it and one even said the hair looked like real fur they could pet and yes, I let them "pet it" 🦊

▪︎ Many folks were drawn to my Seal painting with the library and staircase. They were in awe of it and the stories they could imagine.

▪︎ The ballerina dancer🩰caught the attention of a couple dancers and mom's of them. A young boy around 9yr old Loved the cheetah 🐆 that he spotted right away even when most don't see it at first hanging in the trees 🌳

▪︎ My Bat Girl painting 🦇💁🏽‍♀️🎃 was another fave as well as my Fish 🐟 🖼 [Dinner Time]

▪︎ A woman Loved my Castle of Budapest 🖼🏰 and spoke with excitement with her eyes lit up as she described how she stood in that exact same spot taking a picture holding her Starbucks cup up at the sun 🌟 She talked about the river flowing off to the left and how she really Loved the wooden frame I have it in.

▪︎ My Huge 60x48 Beach painting⛱️ 🖼 (Breakthrough) was well loved & became a backdrop for pics lol. Kids started it by pretending they were standing on the beach as it was bigger than many people.

▪︎ My Bee-Lieve 🐝 painting caught several who loved the texture & creativity in it and one guy who was intrigued by it even pointed out how he saw a "jack-o-lantern" 🎃 in the bee wing, something I didn't see and now I can't unsee it lol

▪︎ A teacher and photographer Loved my frog 🐸 painting (The Keeper) and described his Loved for all the variations of greens 💚 I used, the texture, bubbles 🫧 and interest I brought to the frog subject, composition & style

▪︎ My bear painting 🖼🐻🌈 was said to be "radically Cool" and overall Loved with all the elements & creativity in it.

Many people described wanting to sit in my tent & just dream!! MY HEART IS SOOO FULL from all the feedback and that was just only half of it.

I made some Really Exciting Connections😉 that I look forward to sharing in my journey ahead "ALL GLORY TO GoD" 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙇🏽‍♀️

Ohh & I'm working on getting Prints made as well so STAY TUNED 😉 🖨

****** THANK YOU TO MY NIECES/ NEPHEW ANGEL, MARKEYANNA & TRAVIS AND TO MY FRIEND, Nickey B Glover FOR HELPING ME SET UP & BREAK DOWN MY TENT AND ALL THE ELEMENTS. I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT Y'ALL 🫂🤗💋 *****

I spent an incredible week at the Annual Milan Art Experience 2026 with the most incredible peeps, Experiencing the most incredible workshops in Sarasota, FL. Talk about a breakthrough 🙌🏽

I'm finding more and more that LiFe is a series of Breakthroughs when you allow yourself to lean into learning about yourself, your habits, exploring ways to becoming healed, growth and forging new paths. The greatest thing is finding connections with others and sharing our lives with one another. It helps us grow as individuals and as a community. I wouldn't trade this opportunity for the world! See y'all again my peeps 🫂 🤗

"STORIES DEEP BENEATH THE SURFACE" 📚 🦭🌊🪸 40x30 mixed media oil on gallery wrapped canvas

Because I'm a poet...... 📝✍️🏽

Deep Beneath the surface
Is where one hides their Truths,

It's where one goes to hide all pain and transform something new;

Deep beneath the surface another world exists
Archives and Catalogs Hidden amongst the mist;

Deep beneath the surface souls swarm deep and free,
Bathed in colorful light amongst the coral reef;

Deep beneath the surface no shallow tides can reign,
Misfits wears the crown 👑 imprinting artistic stain;

Deep beneath the surface Is where one's soul's alive,
It's where sea creatures share our light, it's where we go to thrive;
....................•°☆✨️ ~Tosha Pettaway 🐝👩🏽‍🎨🎨

✨️What do you Like/Love about this piece??✨️

[I ask that because I'm learning to embrace & Love myself and replace words of disappointment that I tell myself with uplifting words/ truths/ statements about myself, so THANK YOU for walking in that with me🫶🏽🫂]

Here's my painting from the Milan Art Institute 3 day workshop "Florals, Insects and Atmosphere" taught by Dimitra Milan that I took at their Milan Art Studio in Sarasota, FL.

Is it finished? No, however, there's many parts that I Love and I'm learning to embrace just that in itself. I've spent too many days in my life criticizing myself, telling myself I'm just not good enough and God has shown me all those thoughts developed from "Feelings of Abandonment" and that is all that is!

What I've believed about myself is NOT True! And I know it's not because in reality, NOBODY has EVER said those words to me, EXCEPT myself!

God showed me in visions this past weekend that those thoughts were created to give myself some explanation (& RELIEF, so I thought) as to why BOTH my parents were absent in life. And God also showed me that He placed me, along with 2 of my siblings EXACTLY WHERE we Were meant to be because our parents did not have the Tools to raise us in the way He Needed us to be raised for the Work He has in store for us to walk out - for HIS GLORY 🙌🏽🙏🏽💪🏽

He has REMOVED & DELIVERED me from that Fear!! Hallelujah 🙌🏽 And I can present myself without Fear of Abandonment by anyone else, like you all.

.•°✨️💃🏽"SHe DaNCeD AnYWaY" 🩰

is a 40x30 Mixed Media Oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas

When I was a little girl I briefly danced 💃🏽 as a ballerina 🩰and dreamed of one day performing as a sugar plum fairy 🧚🏽‍♀️and having my own stage performance in the Nutcracker, rewritten, using my very own version, of course 💁🏽‍♀️ Then life chose a different path for me and that dream suddenly ended 🛣

Over the years I watched & stayed connected to dance in one form or another🩰💃🏽⛸️🛼 envisioning myself living out my solo performances again and again. Although I've never found myself back on stage living out my dreams of becoming a solo performing ballet dancer, this painting 🖼 isn't about the ballet career I didn't have. It's a painting about the fact that my dream found another form of expression.

Instead of dancing across a stage, I've👩🏽‍🎨learned to make paint dance across a canvas 🖼🎨🖌

We should never give up on our dreams even if it means redefining what that dream originally meant!! ~Tosha

A couple more details to render & she's finished and will be available to call your own! 🫶🏽

🪻🌻 Our "In Bloom" art retreat group with the Milan Art Institute ventured out on a plein air outing to the Lavender Festival 💜 🌻🪻🌻 where there was food, music, vendors, shows and fields with rows and rows of Lavender🪻SunFLoWeRs 🌻 and O..M..G 😱😳🫣 hundreds and hundreds of 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝

Now ✋🏽... if you know me at all, you KNOW I will cause a scene, run folks off road, accidentally trample on you and knock over everything in sight just to get away!! 🏃🏽‍♀️I've been like this my entire life..conditioned & gripped in this fear that I remembered later in life was attached to a childhood trauma!

Let me explain that trauma:

I'm 4 years old, innocently playing & pretending I was a FaiRy 🧚‍♀️, Named InDiGo, I might add!💁🏽‍♀️
I was blowing magical wishes 🪄 ✨️in the air (DaNDeLioNs that represented my other FAiRy 🧚‍♂️ Friends) when the "Big BaD🍑 WoLf" 🐺 aka my cousin who was 7yr old interrupted me with his "exciting news" that he located FAiRieS 🧚🏽‍♀️ 🧚‍♂️ and knew how to make them swirl up in the sky with magical FAiRy dust that would fall all around me but I had to be still to watch the show performance. He led me over to the bushes in our front yard which contained a massive gray looking "ball" that looked really cool & I've never seen one before. He told me to stand still for the show & that I can't move or the FAiRieS would leave. I wasn't going anywhere!! I stood there as he stomped, smashed & quickly ran off. It all happened so quickly I didn't have time to think because my initial thought was why would he smash the FAiRy House?? I stood in amazement as the "FAiRieS" SWaRMeD around me and in the same instance I was met by stinging, excruciating pain and covered in bees 🐝🐝 that I couldn't get off me as I was flailing around. My screams were heard by my grandmother 👵🏽 whom raised us. She ran out & quickly back inside which made me think she left me alone in this only for her to return with a broom that she was quickly "beating" me with. She was actually trying to knock off as many bees as she could and she snatched me up & ran. We both ended up rushed to the hospital where dozens of medical Dr's/ nurses/ staff treated us for hours removing stingers over every inch of our bodies and removing bees still stuck on us. I remember they placed a white paper sheet over my face/ chest area as they removed stingers so that I couldn't see everything happening...I guess to lessen the Trauma 🤷🏽‍♀️ We both could've lost our lives!!

I went through life not remembering this until it resurfaced during my times when I suffered with depression. I carried it in my subconscious tucked away/ suppressed as our brains naturally do for survival. This created a DeePLy RooTeD FeaR of MOST bugs 🐞 🐝 🦋🪲🦗🕷🪳 & I am highly allergic to bees 🐝 and must carry an EpiPeN, which I had 2 with me at the Lavender Festival 💜

⛓️🔗💪🏽 BUT.... ☝🏽back to the 🪻🌻🪻Festival, When I saw all the 🐝🐝 I felt NO FEAR, NO ANXIETY, NO BUTTERFLIES & KNOTS IN THE PIT OF MY STOMACH, NO FLUSHING/HOT FLASHING NOR SWEATING, NO AUTO RESPONSE TO RUN, NO RACING HEART 💓, NO LABORED BREATHING, NO TRIGGER ⛓️🔗💪🏽 ..... BECAUSE I WAS CHANGED, IN THE BASILICA DI SAN FRANCESCO

MY Fears were GONE & INSTEAD I FELT LOVE, I Felt CAREFREE, HaPpY, EuPHoRiC.... I felt like the 4 year old Innocent FAiRy 🧚🏽‍♀️ again 🙌🏽😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
•°✨️🧚🏽‍♀️🧚🏽‍♂️✨️°•. I WAS FREE 🙌🏽... I WAS FREE🙇🏽‍♀️🙌🏽🧚🏽‍♂️🧚🏽‍♀️ ✨️°•.

And while others were painting away in their sketchbooks, I was PAiNTiNg Away my FeaRs with my FAiRy 🧚🏽‍♀️ 🐝 Friends once again!! There was MAGIC 🪄 ✨️ 💛 💖 ✨️ in those Fields for me! There was HeaLinG ReSToReD. There was FReeDoM 🙌🏽 There was a 4 year old little girl given back what was taken from her long ago! There was⛓️ broken.

My grandmother 👵🏽 LOVED SuNFLoWeRs 🌻💛 and I Felt her presence. We were REUNITED in the SuNFLoWeR Fields 🌻 and When I KiSSeD a SuNFLoWeR - I KiSSeD Her, I Kissed my 4 year old innocent self, I KiSSeD the🐝🐝🐝, I Kissed SuNsHiNe, I KiSSeD the FaCe of GoD, I KiSSeD FReeDoM 🙌🏽💛🌻🐝🫶🏽

My trip to Italy 🇮🇹 was one for the 📚 📖 I was empowered first off because I faced my crippling fears of traveling abroad & on a long flight ✈️ When we arrived the entire group Milan Art Institute and all the wonderful people who attended as well WELCOMED us with open, warm heartfelt greetings, hugs & special attention right from the start! Traveling had some hiccups due to weather cancelations but that did not stop us (Russ & I) from going! We all STAYED at the Gorgeous Villa Pianciani and had the privilege of experiencing all the paintings, arched doorways, history, stone, grounds, relics and LiFe which inspired our every moment!

Throughout the trip I was enlightened, inspired, transformed, empowered and freed from the grip of Fears that have layered upon me in LiFe! One by one those chains were broken & I will attempt to share those moments if possible! I was also delivered from my fear of bees 🐝 to the point that my own husband, Russ was standing in disbelief while we were at a Lavender Festival 💜 🪻🐝🪻🐝🌻🐝🌻🐝 where I Freely played amongst the fields interacting with the butterflies 🦋 the sunflowers 🌻, the lavender 🪻& especially the bees 🐝 (more on this later).

When we arrived to Italy 🇮🇹 I was sooo exhausted & delirious that I ended up falling down stone stairs & busted up my elbow, shoulder, hip & head! It was pretty bad but I roughed it out and now I can say "I FeLL for iTaLy...LiTeRaLLy" 🇮🇹😅🙃🤣🤣🤣😭😭 I mean.... what can I say, A GiRL has got to make an entrance! 💁🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ And guess what?? One of the LoVeLy LaDieS has been a nurse practitioner for over 30 years & specialized in wound care so I thought that would be a Great way to introduce myself to Ms Kathleen Berry 🫂🤗 (Once a Nurse Practitioner, Always a Nurse Practitioner, right?! 😘😘). She jumped right in & doctored me up!! Thank You 😘😘😘

Well, here's a few pics 📸 I'm sharing [y'all KNOW I took 1,000 photos] and I can't wait to incorporate my experiences into paintings!! 🖼🪻🖼🌻

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING of our 12 day journey 🖼 & our rolling hills view from our RoYaL RooM was iNcReDiBLe to wake up to every morning while watching the birds 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛gather, talk & one nit-pick with the others every morning. You can tell which one in the pics lol "He" yep, "He" got on the rest 🐦‍⬛Nerves 😆
