Survival is a "hardwired instinct" of all living beings.
Good instincts usually tell you what to do long before your head has figured it out.

Thought is the organizing factor in man,
intersected between the casual
primary instincts and the resulting actions.
In that way imagination
and intelligence enter into our existence
in the part of servants of
the primary instincts. Albert Einstein

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa. You are an incredible talent. I don’t know how many times you can take my breath away and make my eyes go wide. It happens every time. I like the little guy in the middle. 🙂
This is amazing. Really, really amazing.

OOOOOOOh, I love the vibrancy of these colors! They scream, rich with depth…:)
On another note, I’m just happy looking at the beautiful piece I won from your great studio! I’m doing the happy dance and playing, “Girls, Just Wanna Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper! I’m just having a great time, and your art is at the center! Oh and you packed it so well!
Did I say, what a lovely gift this was? Well….:)
This is gorgeous! At first it seems abstract and then there are all the surpises hidden in its fragments! So beautiful!
Lovely; reminds me of Bev Doolittle’s work! Clever you.
