    I would LOVE to see your work all hung in a gallery so I could indulge myself for hours!
    Another stunning piece.
    Your name will be in the drawing 😉

    The patterns are just gorgeous, Lisa. Really beautiful work. Whoever has this one hanging on their wall is very lucky indeed.
    And that quote from Einstein? Who knew he could be such a card!

    kinda reminds me of the wizard of oz, not sure if it’s the hourglass, the poppy field, or the illusion (in my brain) to flying monkeys. very, very nice!

    There are a lot of elements that I like about this. The “hour glass,” that I see, the see growing towards sky, the ribbon moving through different kinds of sky…. This is really great.

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.
