Becoming

I can't imagine what my life would be like if I didn't create.

If I stay away too long from making something, I tend to get withdrawals. Not sure if that's only me. Do you ever get that way?

My artistic journey so far has been filled with meeting so many amazing artists out here in blogland. The on-going support and love you have all given me has been more than I could ask for. I really appreciate it. Thank you all so so so much!



The weather here has been nice and chilly. Just the way I like it. It has even inspired me to get back to my love of stitching. Hopefully, I can share it all with you soon. The difficult thing about having more than one artistic passion is that I get side tracked very easily.

I could be happily stitching away, but when a sketch is calling out for

me to paint her... well, you can guess the answer to that.

For more info on this angel painting, you can find her now on ebay.

(sold, thanks!)

Thank you for your sweet visit! :)

Primitive Angel

Hello lovely bloggers! Here is my latest painting.

Size: 8" X 10" on stretched canvas

I had tons of fun grunging up this painting. Created using mixed media
including collage paper, oil pastels and acrylic paint. Sanded and
distressed for a primitive appearance.


Hope you guys like her! She is up for bid now on ebay. (sold, thanks!)



Thanks for coming to visit! Wishing you all a beautiful weekend! :)

The Gatekeeper

Deep within the enchanted forest you will find a hidden entrance to

an unknown magical realm.

Many have tried to enter. But only the chosen few have been worthy

to pass.

To uncover the mystery you seek most, to unfold the story of your dreams,

your destiny lies with none other than . . .

The Gatekeeper.

For more info and photos, you can find her now on ebay.

Feeling Goth

Hello Fabulous Bloggers! Thanks so much for your sweet visits
to my blog! I really appreciate all the special comments you leave.
Here is my latest painting.

When I finished her up, I wasn't sure if she was just a

goth girl or maybe even a vamp girl. I'll leave the decision

up to you. Either way, I love the way she turned out.

I added a crocheted flower and brad to decorate her hair.

Here is a before and after. As you can see, I started out wanting
her to be an angel when I sketched her, then I changed it up as I

began painting. You can now find her up for sale on ebay. (sold, thanks!)

Also, a big Congrats to Bettina of http://glassdragonbears.blogspot.com/ for winning my collage

painting from my Halloween group blog yesterday! Yay!

Creative Blessings,

Lisa :)

Hello everyone! I wanted to say thank you to all of the special partiers

I am aware of the difficulties some bloggers were having at leaving
comments on that particular post.

I even had a huge delay in posting the party due to blogger issues
too. Thankfully, it worked out in the end. I do apologize for the inconvenience, but I did tally your entry if you emailed me or
sent me a message on etsy. I so wish I could give all of you a
prize, but I could only choose one. Thanks again to you all!

Halloween Party 2010

Hello and Welcome to my Halloween Party hosted by the talented Vanessa of A Fanciful Twist . This makes my second time participating
in the Spooktacular Extravaganza! Feel free to make yourself nice
and comfy. Enjoy!

The story of Matilda is still quite unknown. Her spirit and
adventures, in my heart, they have grown.

Matilda was born many moons ago, others guessing her

age, a game she loves so. Young beauty before you, you see

in her eyes, she'll tell you her age and you'll be surprised.

At daylight her world is not what it seems, blinded by light,

she lives in her dreams. Enchanted by music, her song has no

bounds, the breeze brings her lyrics, sweet melodic sounds.

She lives in the moment, dancing everyday, a stormy sky above will

not stop her play. A worn out old painting, was hidden around, now

in my hands, since she can't be found.

The cracks in the painting, up close I can see, the age of this painting,

but that cannot be.  Until there is more of Matilda's story to be learned,

I'll dance all day long, singing at every turn.

In the midst of my search of Matilda's life at every source, I did

get inspired with some creating... of course!

This is my Halloween Party Giveaway, for all of you to see. I created

my first Halloween mini album out of chipboard. I used a few altered

prints from my original paintings and went to town. This mini is filled

with mixed media including sweet and spooky embellishments.

Here is a slideshow of the complete mini.

Everyone has the chance to win this Halloween mini album, just leave me a comment in this post. The winner will be chosen using a random number generator.

Polls Close:

11:59 pm PST on Friday, October 22, 2010


Winner will be announced on Saturday, October 23rd.


Thanks so much for stopping by to visit my party! Don't forget
to visit all the magical participants on the list here.

Also just in case you were a little more curious about Matilda,
her story does not give any evidence so far about her being a vampire.
But I thought I would play with her photo and make her into one
digitally.

Good Luck & Happy Halloween!!!
Hugs,

Lisa :)

Just a Spooky Reminder...

Beauty Comes From Within

Size: 5" X 7" on canvas board

I just love the way she turned out.

Hope you do too!

Feeling Green with a little Hoot

Hello lovely bloggers! Thanks again so much for all your special comments! If I haven't yet already, I will be visiting your fabulous

blogs soon. Hope your October days have been beautiful so far.

It rained a bit this morning and I just loved it. I wanted to share a couple of new paintings with you all.

Here is a portrait painting I created.

Size: 6" X 8" on canvas board

This is one of the larger paintings I've been working on

and finished up the other day.

Size: 12" X 24" on stretched canvas

You can find both of these originals now on ebay. (both sold, thanks!)

Happy Sunday and Thanks so much for coming to visit! 

Hugs,

Lisa :)

It's been hot here. I enjoy the weather much more when
it's a little colder. I can surely live with the high winds, the fog
doesn't bother me a bit and rainy days seem to always make me smile.

That's why living in San Francisco has always been perfect for me.
But when we get days like the last few we've had here...
long and very hot... it gets a little difficult for me to function.

Surprisingly, I did manage to finish a new painting.

Like I mentioned on my last post, I was working on

a couple of things, but those had to be put on hold for

a bit. My muse led me to create this one instead.

Hope you guys like her. I plan to list her on ebay

later on today. Starting at 99 cents. (sold, thanks!)

Also, I received more etsy love recently. Yay!

My witch painting was magically chosen for the"Blessed Be This Witchery" collection. Thanks again Myra!

And my angel painting was selected for this sweet "Harvest Chic"

collection. Thanks again FineAndFunkyJewelry!

Vanessa of A Fanciful Twist is hosting her annual

Halloween party again! I had such a spooktacular
