these are some of my favorite artists... it's kind of a thrill to be in a book with all of them. i can't wait to see my copy.
speaking of peers.... i was lucky enough to meet abby glassenberg and her husband charlie at my show at artstream studios . and she agreed to trade with me.
i heart my tall bird.
you can see her website here and you can get one for yourself here
this is what i sent her.... i was making a series of small cup/doily works to warm up in the studio again. and i wanted to incorporate "real" doilies too. i'm trying out different colorways to see how the imagery changes.
and speaking of peers.... i'll be posting on ship of fools on friday. part 1 on our new book the elegance of the hedgehog
happy mid week
hello hello!

the whole idea of a coloring book is fab. the doilies and teacups are beautiful lisa. love your new bird too. xox ps: are you liking the book for ship?
A trade made in heaven! How lucky you both are.

I like your new series a lot. The colours match the season, don't they?
CONGRATULATIONS on being included in such a wonderful coloring book! How fun for the person doing the coloring....
quite jealous of your trade ;).
both abby's bird and your doily piece seem to fit together very well. xx
Catching up with you tonight! You are in great company in the PEER coloring book - what a fun idea. I love, love your doily piece, very beautiful, and your figure drawing is also so sensitive and skilled.
Big congrats on your many, many art shows! Happy belated birthday and anniversary - and I'm sorry to read about your grandmother. Mine is turning 90 this year, and unfortunately I don't see her often anymore since we live abroad.
Thanks for sharing your news and good luck with your studio. Sounds exciting. Lots going on :)
i'm loving your work lately, lisa--- it's so beautiful.
I can't wait to see how people complete the drawings!
Definitely checking out Ship of fools tomorrow :)
i love your new doilies and cups! everything about it. it's perfect. just wonderful & great colors. it's so beautiful. i'm saying it again: it's so beautiful!
The tall bird is beautiful!
The colouring book sounds like fun, how cool that people will be painting your portraits :) Love your new doily work.
I just love that doily piece, its gorgeous. And yes, I think it will be cool that people everywhere will be coloring your face too ; )
hello neighbor-once-upon-a-time...you have been in my thoughts...i can't tell if that bird looks more storkish or flamingoish. you tell me.

Visual delights indeed!!
