• First I had some toast, bacon and eggs…
• Then I went outside to enjoy the garden and…
• Look what I found in the nooks and crannies outside…
• A beautiful array of eggs perfectly outfitted!

• HAPPY EASTER to you ALL!

Reason enough for me to call them • • • “Rolling Colors” • • •

Easter is not a time for groping through dusty,
musty tomes or tombs to disprove spontaneous generation or even to prove life eternal.
It is a day to fan the ashes of dead hope,
a day to banish doubts and seek the slopes where the sun is rising,
to revel in the faith which transports us out of ourselves and,
the dead past into the vast and inviting unknown.

Bold Ink drawings

I started doing these bold ink drawings a few years ago with a class I took with Carla Sonheim,
it was fascinating how one can break the ice (fear) of the blank page!
And how new ideas and concepts come about, as this “Personitas” series (little people)

Once again, I have committed to the #The100DayProject2019 on IG, which started on April 2nd.
Here is more info.

Loving “Personitas”

We are now on day 19, you can follow me here: #100daysofboldink
I did start ahead so to have a bit of a back up in the posting and I’m not planning on doing 100 consecutive days, that is too difficult! Plus…

but you stop being authentic and motivated after about 65 to 80 days in the project.
It also takes over your life and affects your true flow, it becomes a numbers game.

A new flora collection is being introduced in my SHOP, the KINDRED BOTANY!

This new botanical collection is from 100 small drawings of fantastic flora.
Each small drawing in itself turns to meet the possibilities of the digital world
where it is reborn in a related image. A very limited edition of 5 prints of each image.

Visit: KINDRED BOTANY at my shop, it is a very easy shop to navigate and super secured!
More on this specific collection here: https://lisarivas.com/kindred-botany/

I want to create a market where people from all walks of life can encounter each other
in an atmosphere of beautiful chaos, the coming together of kindred souls. ~Rei Kawakubo

Serendipity …is a happy-dance!

Creating art is often a happy situation, but it requires a certain stance.

One of pushing the envelope of serendipity, with a bit of photographic memory…
eventually (quicker than expected) it will reach that “imaginative” image.

And then (maybe) see a little story coming thru.

I wish that it could be as simple as that, but usually,
it takes, even more pushing and nudging, to make that magic happen!

Here is an example of setting forth:
