Ask me where I was at when I painted that.....

6/19/2015

I love hanging out with artists and people who love art. What a bonus to be exhibiting at The Darts Hill Garden Park. This is my first time at this venue. I heard there is quite a variety of different kind of art displays.
But of course, I will be there, with some new pieces and some favourites from my past. Right now, I am busy getting ready for the show, doing some last minute framing, trying to decide what I will bring. It will be a surprise. I will focus on pieces that make me think of nature and how I look at life.
My art tells a story of my life. I only just realized that the other day, when I looked at my pieces and where I was at when I painted each piece. So come by tomorrow ask me a question about my art, and where I was at in my life when I painted it.
See tomorrow, Saturday, June 20 from 4-8pm at Darts Hill Garden Park at 16 Avenue & 170th Street in South Surrey.

I love to express myself, let loose, get crazy, throw stuff, and get dirty. Okay so its not what you are thinking about. Its all about painting and art. That's what I do some Friday nights. If I don't have plans with friends, I have fun with art.
Except for tonight a very good friend is having a dinner party. We are having lobster!! It is a bon voyage party because one of our good friends is heading to Paris on Sunday. Friendship is so important, especially when you have a friend like mine. We have been friends since college. One of those friends, where it does not matter if you have gaps in the friendship. The last gap was 5 years. Well, its amazing, we picked up like we were never separated. That is what I call one awesome friend.
I raise my glass tonight to my friend and say, Bon Voyage!!!
Do you have a friend like that?? They are the best in the world. I am so grateful.
Have a great weekend.

What are you doing tonight?

Today is my parents 53rd wedding anniversary. I wanted to share some photos of past celebrations the Danish way. I see the love in their eyes when they look in each other eyes. Okay, so it is not always perfect. I do hear some passionate "discussions". but they always talk it out and never go to bed angry. My parents are not as young as they once were, but they are the youngest 70+ year olds that I know.
My mom has been in the hospital for the last two weeks, because she broke her leg in two places and needed surgery. My dad has been visiting her every day. Giving her flowers from the garden, salami sandwiches, cookies, KFC, chocolate, licorice. He once gave her a small bag of licorice and large bag of prunes, she was not to happy about the prunes, and wanted a larger bag of licorice. My mom is the master of making Danish Rye bread, and my dad decided he would make it. He did not lock the Kitchen aide in place and the ingredients flew all over the kitchen. They find joy and laughter in the simple things in life. When you can laugh in the face of difficult times, then it makes life that much better. Each day it is always getting better and better.
I wrote this in my blog, because I love my parents, and have so much respect for them. Happy Wedding Anniversary to you both.
Love from your daughter, Sussanne Hoiberg

Finally figuring out... I am my own Best Friend!!!

Yes, it is true!!! I am my own best friend. I have been on a road of transformation. Not sure if it is the amount of years I have been on this earth (in this life), or the amount of learning experiences. When I was in the process of painting this, I was having some very vivid dreams, past and present relationships. I think this piece shows, the layers we unfold in our lives. That is why I was having these dreams, of past and future relationships. My joy is deep within, and as long as I continue to be true to myself, and follow my passion, life will be great as it should be.
This painting is reminding us to always be true to ourselves, because we are best friends forever!!
Artistically yours,
