Lolo’s tenderness…

March 26, 2009 · 5 Comments

 

Lolos-pet

 

 

When I saw this little piece
by Studio Lolo
I was struck by it’s simplicity,
it had a delicate personality,
and oh! I saw it was a portrait!
…a soft-shy “Cactus Sprite”
So very magical!
Then Laurel sent it to me !!!
…in it’s own custom envelope
and a very appreciative note!
So now I am the one saying

“Thanks” Lolo! “Thank You”
Lolos-gifts


Studio Lolo is a “wonderful artist” and an avid “animal caretaker” from San José, CA.
I met her through my participation in Cactus Monday, please visit her site!

…the custom cahiers have found a home with lucky Carol Adamec.

Carol is a fabulous “wordsmith” and “painter”, multi-gifted and hard working.
You can see her work and words at her blog: ART by CAROL ADAMEC

Cahier give-away to Carol Adamec 

Carol has been a dear friend of mine for over 20 years! She
is the person that has help me express myself through words, there
was a time in my life it created panic and terrible fear to write
something! To put words to my work – to even talk, I thought I could just stay visual.

Having a blog has been a challenge… it has been an incredible
learning experience. Even leaving comments at your sites and blogs was
hard at first 🙂 Now you can’t keep me still.

Today, I still request Carol’s professional help when needed… she is my “ghost writer”.

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
