Mixed Media Tag Tutorial

Happy 2013!

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! Today also happens to be my Five Year Blogoversary! Whoohoo! I can't believe how time flies when your happily creating. I normally have a giveaway all set up but unfortunately I have to push that back for now. "I will be posting more for sure this year." I have to have that in writing to make sure that I do. Heehee! I think I did okay with my 36 posts for 2012 compared to the sad 5 posts I did for 2011. Here's to more posts for 2013!

So what's on the drawing board? For now, I'm playing with ACEO's again. These tiny art pieces are 2.5" x 3.5". I have so much fun painting on these little canvases. Besides that, more larger paintings in the works as well as sharing my art journal pages again.

Thanks so much for sticking with me while I continue to share my creative journey! Hope all your dreams come true for the new year!

Creative Blessings,

Lisa :)

She will move mountains

Hello everyone! Here is my latest angel painting. It's a mixed media piece I created on a 16" x 20" stretched canvas. I started out with painting the mountains first. They were just plain white mountains calling out to me. I didn't know which direction I was heading for until I added the angel and knew what she was looking at. 

Sometimes you just need the pull of inspiration to come from somewhere. And that is what my angel did for me. Regardless which direction life takes her, she will move mountains. 

Creative Blessings! :)

Halloween Giveaway Winner!

Happy November everyone! Here is the original Annabel Lee painting I created from the Halloween party. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do for the party this year until I remembered this poem. For those of you who didn't see the altered version of this painting, check it out here. 

I really got into the zone when I painted this piece. By reading and re-reading the poem Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe. Painting and stamping out the sweet haunting words that he created. It brought me creative chills.

Now let's not forget the reason of this post! 

I really do appreciate all your sweet comments. I used a random number generator to pick the lucky winner.

Congrats Janine! YAY!!!

Creative Blessings,
