ok, i know that some of you out there in cyberland are anxious to see what 'kaya' and the '19th century costumed dogs' look like but both clients have yet to receive their paintings...'kaya' will be shipped out on thursday and if the courier gods are smiling down on me, the package will arrive in vancouver friday as scheduled...which means that i can put the painting online friday afternoon...as for the the other painting, that client has set a firm date to stop by the studio to pick up it up although there was talk about sometime during the first week of may...this painting is particularly interesting and i look forward to the feedback from posting it online...
other than that, i'm finished 'esther's' portrait and it looks darling..i kept thinking all throughout working on the piece, 'what an odd name for a dog?'...so 'old testament....c'est la vie...she's adorable!...
today, i arrived in the studio very late as i didn't sleep a wink last night...i spent the night on the couch trying to sleep and when i saw that that was a losing battle i turned on the comedy channel and watched three hours of the best of the 'just for laughs festival'....try keeping quiet while watching comedians...of course after watching this i couldn't fall asleep....
lots of coffee and faith that i'll put in a good few hours of work today...
the other distraction is the lovely day outside...sunny, no wind and 22C...a tad too warm for me but lovely just the same...i would love to sit outside and do nothing but my anal neighbour is outside doing lawn stuff...the story of the neighbour is a long one that i'll write some other time...
be patient, the paintings are coming!....
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.
