© Betty Refour - Searching - Acrylics on 5 x 5 inch Wrapped Canvas - 2008

In life it seems that we are always searching for something. Parking spaces, work, happiness...the list goes on. And in those searches we find ourselves on many different paths.

For me it seems that I am always searching for, amongst other things, my keys. Do you remember those key chains that had the big lucite names on them? Some friends bought me one as a joke, I lost it of course.

When I look at this painting for some reason it makes me think of searching - thus the title. But I am curious, what are you searching for?

This painting is available for sale on ArtByUs. Have a great day everybody, thanks for stopping by.

South Carolina artist Melissa Earley has been an art-o-artist for about five years and during that time her pieces have been in machines all over the country. She has heard from several buyers one of her favorites being a dad who told her how excited his kids were to put their tokens in and chose her work, and how they'd shown all their friends at school.

Melissa is known primarily as a bead artist so she's happy to get recognition for her paintings. You can see more of her work at http://www.melissaearley.com/.

Thanks Melissa for taking the time to talk to me and thanks everybody for stopping by.

©Rosetta Bentz

Rosetta Bentz has been an Art-o-artist since 2003. Her Art-o-mat "Portraits of Humanity" are her doodles of life and she loves creating them. Rosetta says "No two are ever alike and each one is individually drawn. They are all different and they all have similar qualities to them. Just like real people. We are all different, but made up of the same stuff. And, to me, they are androgenous. Not quite male and not quite female. They are very different from my paintings. I paint/draw/create from feelings and memories that compel me to move forward. I very rarely copy or try to imitate. I work full time at a day job, I work full time as an artist and I work full time promoting/marketing my work. I regularly exhibit mostly in the Tri-state area. I enjoy being a part of AOM. I love it that little pieces of me/my work are scattered throughout the country in very interesting places. I have gotten emails from people that bought my work, appreciate and enjoy having it and tell me so."

Rosetta shares a studio in Long Island City, NY with her husband who is also an artist. You can see more of her work by visiting The Bentz Sudio.com. Her art-o-mat pieces are currently located in the Michigan Art-o-mat.

Thanks Rosetta for taking the time to talk to me and thanks everybody for stopping by.

This past Wednesday was Rose's birthday. We took the day off and went shopping in the morning. We stopped and had lunch and then went to have her ears pierced. She did not have pierced ears and has been wanting to have them pierced so she could wear my diamond earrings no less. After that we did more shopping and then came home and she gave herself a manicure. The program she attends gave her a party and she got more presents. I think she had a great birthday.

Have a great week everybody, thanks for stopping by.
