Been thinking of you all * Post 150!

Sometimes life just gets in the way of blogging.

Here are a few blocks I was working on this week.

I also went and bought a four foot canvas the other day and have been layering something on that every day or two. Will post photos of that soon.

Final pieces

some I listed on Ebay and some I put in my Etsy.

Does anyone know if I can list the same item in two places at the same time?

Last week we had breakfast with cousin Scott

A little funky image here of my family

I was thinking since school will be out soon and all the business that that brings, I need something to keep me posting through out the summer.

My idea is to post a little something about Lisa every Tuesday and of course any piece of art I may find time to create.

Have a great weekend

Hope its long and fun : )

Colors

I realized this morning I painted the Omo couple at the lower left this time last year...Wondering why I did it again at this same time...may have something to do with pulling all those dang weeds last week and getting to touch dark earth along with planting bright orange and salmon colored poppies...knowing those dark purple alien like flowers are budding and will show that wonderful deep purple very soon...anticipation

I bought Mike the biggest Magnolia bush last week and a Redbud for myself.

I'll let Mike dig in the earth this time

Summer is almost here and then the time will flyyyyyyyy

Have a great weekend

Day of chores

Here is one of my Omo girls

After watching the youtube video again, I painted her.

Some paintings I've put on ebay

At Mike's request
I had my nails done this weekend

A shot of me yesterday while working on a large Omo man painting.

The gardens have been weeded and the patio swept

The bills have been paid and the laundry put away

My blog post is complete

I must paint

Happy Day to you

Affirmation

Yesterday our day started early with having to get Hannah to church by 9am

After we dropped Hannah off and found a place to park we ran into our friend Suzanne who joined us for a cup of coffee.

I love this : ) Why doesn't Starbucks do this?

While waiting for church to start I saw this poster in the church dining room
Affirmation celebration

Hannah & her mentor

Whats on the table today...clean table I might add : )

In the back behind all the blocks is a stack of cut wood...makes me smile and know that the possibilities are endless!

Have a great day

Straightening up a bit before the house wakes

Thinking about you guys : )

A few more layers and the boys in the house

Here we are with the wood blocks...I love to paint on wood : ) Unless the piece is as large as me : ) Mr. PeJoe

Mr. PeJoe has been having issues with gaining weight and is now on medication for thyroid. Any ideas on how to fatten him up a bit?
Oreo Bandeto
He has truly found a place in the house.

We'll see what I do with these today : )

Thank you all for always making me smile.

I'm pretty lucky

Have a great day!

I feel like the last 3 weeks have been none stop stuff and then throw in there trying to transition back into making art again! ahhhh

Below are a couple photos of what I'll be working on this week. I love lots of layers and here is the first layer. Just kinda doodled with some paint pens. I like to work all the time so 10 blocks is a good start to the week : ) even though I'm a day late, which is fine...I'll stay up late tonight : )

Ebay is going well : ) People are buying my paintings! I love that! Although letting my little block paintings go sometimes is hard. If I have spent the day holding that wood block, painting on it, my thoughts that I had that day become part of that block of wood. My mother in law said to keep at it and my friend Anke advised the same, so I will continue for a bit and see where it all goes : )
I had the pleasure of traveling to Paris for a week about 3 years ago and when I returned I painted this : ) In the full painting she is waving her flag in excitement from her travels : )

Have a good day and I'll try to photograph the next few layers : )
