A big thanks to all of you who have come to follow me on this creative journey. I appreciate every single comment and message I receive with your support in my art. It means alot.

Thank you Crystal of http://funkyfairyshoppe.blogspot.com/ for passing on the "I Love your art blog" award. Crystal has alot of sweet goodies in her magical shop.



Thank you Lori of http://elviestudio.blogspot.com/ for passing on the "Spreader of Love" award. Lori creates the most charming handbound books. You have to check out her work.



I heart you.



It all begins with a little sketchy.



12" X 24" on stretched canvas



Gesso & acrylic to outline.



Prim inspired.



Sanded and distressed.



A crackle here, a crackle there.



Oil pastels for shading certain areas.



Metallic paints to highlight.



Overall, made with love... cause I heart you. :)

    So pretty, Lisa! Does the gesso give that thick texture like that? I love your sweet angel faces.

    Thanks so much creative cuties! I really enjoyed making this piece.

    Cris- Gesso does in fact give a nice texture. Depending on the thickness you apply, the gesso gives you a great surprise when it dries. Have fun using it.

    Creative Blessings,
    Lisa :)

    Thanks so much for all your sweet comments!

    Yuki- I hope to create more paintings similar to the "Dream" painting in the near future. I do plan on selling prints of the original on Etsy as well. Thanks for your interest in my art! :)

    Oh, I'd be very interested in a print of this one, indeed.

    Also, I'm giving the pay it forward an opening for three more (actually I have one spot open, if you want the other one)?

    go to my comments section and email me your snail mail addy, via email.

    cheers~
