'zoe' is finished and on to another piece...
once again i am going to attempt to work on two pieces at once...'kelsey' and 'mia'...kelsey looks almost identical to my dog dylan who passed away several years ago...he is actually part of the reason i started working in the area of 'animal portraiture'...kelsey's portrait is part of a growing series of paintings already commissioned by this client...the background of the series is 'the cottage life' where the dogs spent lots of time and by the looks of the photos, enjoyed every minute of their time there!...
the other dog, mia is a sweet faced girl that lives in colorado...the composition for her portrait is inspired by the photo the client provided and the story that goes along with the photo...the photo is of mia sitting on the counter top underneath a string of copper pots...apparently she wanted to get a better view of my client's lunch that was sitting up there...the expression on her face is hilarious as she is just grinning proudly at the camera...should make for a good painting...
tomorrow is an non-working day as i'll be out of town...and sunday will be spent investigating new ways to sell my work...
back to the easel...in desparate need of chocolate!
About Me
- lisa g.
- i was born in a big city in ontario when the air quality was still good and litter wasn’t seen on the ground. the childhood that followed my birth was average for a canadian girl growing up in a small town in the early seventies. bell bottoms, dorothy hamil hairstyle and a banana seat bicycle were some of the things that i had, along with a box of crayons with a built-in pencil sharpener. i carried my crayons everywhere and drew all the time on almost everything. years later after puberty took its’ hold on me and changed my outlook on life permanently, i found myself leaving the small town for the bright lights of the big smoke where i enrolled in the fine arts programme at a university. i stayed on as a student for sometime then found myself disillusioned with the lack of inspiration that came from the faculty. so i left to find a mentor, someone who would inspire me, teach me, guide my creativity to find its' own voice. that mentor was found in the many books i’ve acquired over the years. i’ve found my inspiration through my travels and spending time following the footsteps of some of my ‘heroes’ of the art world.
