Not Too Sure About This

This Fun Doodle is one of my favorites. Some people think it looks a little creepy, and I agree. In fact, it's one of my very few creepy doodles. Maybe that's why I like it so much. I will protect my flower from creepy people. We all want to protect those we love from harm. Of course, there are other ways to look at this doodle as well, which makes it even more fun. Let me know your interpretation. I would like to hear it. Best wishes! Corey Couturier. CJCforJ@aol.com. www.coreycouturierstudios.com www.facebook.com/coreycouturier

"I'm so Beautiful!"




This fun piece is a part of my new "Doodle Collection".
I'm having a ton of fun with this!!

Push yourself into new dimensions

This piece is my latest adventure that required much patience and perseverance to finish.  It is an attempt to fuse new and old together, folk style and fuse with architectural elements.  It's more of
a wall sculpture than a painting.  It has depth, light, reflection, and fun.  My art will be featured in a gallery in downtown Phoenix in February, and I'm hoping to give something they've never seen before.  I'm shooting for that "WOW" factor that will be both fun and crazy. 

It's all about the creative process

When I took an online test a few years ago to see what my profession should be, the number one recommendation was that I was suitable to be an Inventor, and the number two answer came up that I would be suitable as a graphic designer.  Both things are all about being creative, which is what I love.  Whether it be inventing a new board game, or a new painting, or even a new way to successfully trade stocks, I get my kicks creating stuff that others can enjoy or benefit from.  For instance, today I found a program online that enables a person to create their own font.  I got excited because for a long time I've wanted to create my own fonts for the greeting cards I design.  It was very easy to do and a lot of fun to see the results, and be able to type on the keyboard in my own handwriting.  Very Cool.  You should check it out.  It's called "YourFonts" and it's a great way to use those creative juices to make something really Cool.  I'm planning on using it to create a number of different fonts.

New Project

I've recently decided to eembark on a new project.  I'm excited about it, because it's going to force me  out of my comfort zone.  I must not only decide about the design, but also the materials involved, and the proper order of putting the project together.  I'm excited!!!

The Day the Angels Cried

I don't think scripture really gives us much insight into the emotions of angels.  We do know angels exist, that they are God's creation, and they serve a purpose in the the Kingdom.  Whole books have been written about Angels.  I imagine Angels are joyous beings who dwell in God's presence.  There was one day in history, however, that the Angels may have cried, and that day was the day Jesus died on the cross.  And although it was a part of God's plan of redemption, it was the day that Jesus not only carried the weight of all our sins on the cross, but scripture tells us that he actually became sin.  A horrible sight to behold, to the point that God the Father turned away from his own Son.  Jesus cried out at one point--"My God, why have you forsaken me?"  I get emotional just writing this.  It was a day of great sorrow, not only on earth, but in Heaven itself.


In this painting I have tried to depict the sorrow of the Angels as they contemplate the events of that day.  I use blues and grays, colors of sorrow.  I also use silver leaf in their halos to show their beauty.  This painting is definitely a stray from my normal upbeat and joyous paintings, which even surprised me.  But I just paint what God shows me, and the message belongs to Him.


Have a great day!!
