the portrait of 'bo' was completed a few days ago and it looks great...i'll be posting an image of the painting either next week or in a couple of weeks...
work has begun on 'fudge and jack' and i was hoping to finish this portrait sometime next week but things are moving along slowly...the composition is great, colours are good and the subject matter is very sweet, it's just that sometimes things transpire in the studio that make work move at a snail's pace...i can't explain it...
oh, back to work...
on a side note, there was a murder last night just down the street from my house...the body of a mother of three and owner of her own business was found in her flower shop...it's sad to see my city quickly swirling down the giant toilet of crime...my thoughts are with her as her ghost stands above the crime scene, her crime scene wondering 'what' and 'why' this had to happen to her...to think that she lived her entire life only to have it violently taken away from her...very tragic indeed...
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.
