To purple daybreak, little thought we pay…

    I like the strong geometric qualities of this which are then broken up by the very appealing details!

    This is a nice picture Lisa. Do you ever create your art after reading something or do you find wonderful quotes to go with your paintings? What ever happens I do enjoy them.

    love the quote, and the dreamy image is exactly how I spend my evenings, floating from one thing to the next in an abundant jumble. I love to relate to your art. Thankyou!!

    This reminds me of a “stream of consciousness” feeling…drifting from one unique image to the other yet the thoughts/images are totally linked together by a magical thread…:)

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.
