STACIE FLINT PORTRAIT PAINTING COMMISSIONS
BIO
Hudson Valley, New York, artist Stacie Flint's contemporary expressionist figurative oil painted canvases are collected in the United States and Europe. The images have been used as magazine covers, for children's book illustration, on an album cover, and a stage set. Stacie Flint also paints portrait and public commissions. A recently completed project is five large canvases for Ulster County Area Transit in Kingston, New York, and features staff and passengers of the buses.
STATEMENT
When I paint, I am painting a reflection of my life: a colorful, direct, and everyday narrative of ordinary moments in time. In these vibrant oil paintings, which have a life of their own, people, pets, and things from my imagination appear isolated, but interact within a bold composition. I am inspired most by observing the commercial, fast paced and media oriented aspects of the suburban lifestyle. This, combined with my primary impulse for vivid color and expressive character, makes me laugh! I love my work, and these paintings make me feel good. I know they will make you feel good, too.
COMMISSION PAINTING AND COMMISION PORTRAITS BY STACIE FLINT
I like to tell a story — not in words, but in oil paint. I do this by choosing vivid colors and a loose application, adjusting according to need. My commission paintings have vibrancy, but a more specific focus than my personal work. For commissions I compose a unique interpretation of your favorite people, family, and pets, and what they love. A relaxed and softly off-beat likeness is achieved by painting from provided photographs, used as a reference. Like all my work, the commission paintings are always fun, but they are also a one-of-a-kind, personal piece that is more than a snapshot record. It explores a moment in time and relationship, full of life!
SUBJECTS for my commission oil paintings include:
• Family portraits of everyday home life
• Formal family portraits
• Original oil paintings of family and pets
• Commission paintings of work life
• Pet portraiture (pet portraits): your pet alone or a portrait of you with your pet
• Commission oil painting of your children
• Pet paintings: dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits, or other pet
• Hand-painted portraits from your photos
I create uniquely interpreted hand painted commission portraits from your photograph. Using photographs to create the painting provides the easiest and most convenient way to produce an original custom portrait.
If you would like more information please call me at (845) 255-2505, or email me, and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have. As I create paintings from photographs, I can create custom commission paintings for clients in Ulster County, Dutchess County, Columbia County, Greene County, Orange County, the Mid Hudson Valley and throughout the U.S.

At Stone Ridge Healing Arts
3457 Main Street
Stone Ridge, NY 12484
You are all invited to join us for free, every second and fourth Wednesday of each month, as we explore how easy it is to let go of all the internal controversies and obstacles that get in the way of our peace, success and love.
What is The Sedona Method?
The Sedona Method is a very simple, easy to use method of self inquiry that helps us to effortlessly let go of all the "stuck" places in our lives. While The Sedona Method is not a psychotherapeutic technique, it does support and prove the cognitive psychological premise that when we change our minds, we change our lives.
How does The Sedona Method change our minds?
The Sedona Method uses very simple, easy to use, series of questions that invite us to effortlessly let go of old feelings and thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of our being receptive, resilient and productive in all the areas of our lives. The questions are so gentle and loving that they support the mind/body to effortlessly release tension and energy blocks and old patterns with ease.
My experience with The Sedona Method.
I have been using The Sedona Method since 2002 and it has helped me to cope with medical challenges that are sometimes very stressful and debilitating. It has helped me find constructive ways to handle extremely difficult relationships. It has given me loving and supportive and productive ways to address all my fears and worries about the economy and so many other worldly challenges we face in our lives everyday.
Each month I offer a FREE Introduction to The Sedona Method on the second Wednesday of that month from 7 PM - 8:30 PM. We go over the four basic ways to "let go" and play around with these ways as we explore all the topics and issues that concern us in everyday life. Many of us who have been using The Sedona Method for a while find it incredibly helpful and wonderfully useful to review the four basic ways. Each time we use these simple processes they give us direct experience and new insight into how amazingly powerful and at the same time deeply loving they are.
Every fourth Wednesday of each month from 7 PM - 8:30 PM, I offer a FREE Sedona Method support group where we play around with the all the things we covered during the Introductory group.
Both groups are open to everyone anytime!
For more information email delilahpraete@gmail.com or call 845 626 3191
At The Art Society of Kingston
97 Broadway
Kingston, NY 12401
Breakthrough in Creativity: The Sedona Method ®
A small donation of $5.00 per person/per group, is requested and will be given entirely to The Art society of Kingston
Artistic expression and creativity are often considered to be an unpredictable gift from the gods. We tend to believe that art can only happen when the planets are aligned in some special way and we have eaten the right thing for breakfast.
What if you could ask yourself a few very simple questions, the right questions, and access infinite creativity? What if it were possible to gently and lovingly, while at the same time deeply and profoundly simply let go of all apparent blocks, obstacles, and resistance to your infinitely creative self?
Lester Levenson, the man who developed the Sedona Method was a visionary who recognized that the mind/body organism is infinitely creative. He discovered a way to gently, lovingly and successfully go beyond perceived limitations and old concepts of ourselves, each other and the world around us. He developed a simple, easy to use process of self inquiry that supports the mind/body to effortlessly let go of fears, tensions, old concepts, old images, old sensations, old patterns of expression and behavior with ease.
Letting go using The Sedona Method allows us to see beyond ordinary appearances and to create and express ourselves in new and extraordinary ways. We begin to witness the creative process express itself even in the most seemingly mundane parts of our lives and we are inspired and changed by this.
An Introduction to The Sedona Method is offered at The Art Society of Kingston the first Saturday morning of each month from 10 – 11:30 AM.
A Sedona Method Support Group is offered at The Art Society of Kingston the third Saturday morning of each month from 10 – 11:30 AM.
All are welcome to join these twice monthly groups anytime to explore how The Sedona Method can help us to access and enhance the creative process.

The HITS-on-the-Hudson Equestrian Art Exhibition features 59 equestrian-themed works of art in various mediums, including painting, photography, and sculpture that will be auctioned in September to raise money for FAMILY of Woodstock, Inc. and the participating artists. The collection is a mix of both existing and newly commissioned pieces created by local and national artists, as well as several estate and period pieces which have been curated by Tom Fletcher specifically for this event.
The HITS-on-the-Hudson Equestrian Art Exhibition show at Fletcher Gallery will commence with a special Gallery Opening on Saturday, August 7 from 6 pm to 9 pm, followed by a three-week stay in the heart of Woodstock. Saturday's Gallery Opening is free and open to the public.

FAMILY will receive 50% of the proceeds from each piece auctioned, with the other 50% going to the artist. Friday night’s auction is a by-invitation-only event that will kick-off the festivities for the Pfizer Million Weekend at HITS, which will also include another Saugerties first – the $50,000 FEI World Cup Qualifier on Saturday, September 11, followed by the highly anticipated Pfizer $1 Million Grand Prix and John Fogerty live in concert on Sunday, September 12.

Summer started off hot with a Sizzling Outdoor Zumba Luau on June 21st (first day of summer!). Amy and her class members took it outside - right in front of the Y on Broadway and showed Kingston how to put your Zumba on! The weather did not cooperate for our outdoor Cycle or Will Power & Grace classes, but come fall, we will be shaking things up a bit in our Group Fitness classes.

The 5th Annual Tour de Kingston on Sunday, June 27 was a huge success due in part to our great group of volunteers and Y members who participated in the ride.

- Trainer Tip:
Fact or Fiction: Can you really spot reduce attack of the tire belly?
Research has shown a strong correlation between intense cardiovascular exercise and the reduction of belly fat. Aim for making at least half of your weekly cardio sessions at a level where it is difficult to carry a conversation (80% MHR). Purchase a heart rate monitor so you can track your cardio sessions and your minutes spent above 80%.
