i love this one, vibrant!
Soooo excellent! And it fits this week perfectly! I love all the colors here, but my heart breaks for that beautiful stained glass. Lisa, I have the feeling you will never be stumped by the word-of-the-week. You’re that incredible!
I like your use of colors.
Hello you Brilliant woman you! This is just wonderful as usual. Simply eye candy. I love the colors and the idea. The broken ladder and all. I love what you do with Rice paper and watercolor. It is absolutely lovely! Great work again my friend
This was so vividly painted.
Sweet & lovely take for REPAIR:)
I’m fascinated how you manage to make a ladder, of all things, so gorgeous. This week it is the sumptuous purple that I don’t want to leave. Love the clock, by the way. Our WordPress sites don’t allow clocks!
great painting… it has such a wonderful feel to it…
Wow, I really enjoy your use of colour throughout all your works. Very nice. Thanks for stopping by my blog! 🙂
beautiful! i can’t get over the fact that you quilted this… gorgeous!
You make things break beautifully! Awesome colors and textures, great composition!
Ohhh Lisa, this is so beautiful!! I’ve especially fallen in love with the little bright green step-ladder – and that incredible small vehicle riding up the broken red ladder: -) Amazing and wonderful work!!
