Welcome / Bienvenidos…

January 28, 2008 · 2 Comments

Welcome to Flying Colors! 

Bienvenidos… los colores vuelan!

And colors will fly, shift and escape…

Magic Sparkler

I am a Painter / Graphic Artist very much interested in noticing the elusive…

Nature and the small mundane stuff I find extremely fascinating.

Patterns are one of my obsessions… Are patterns obsessive by nature ?

Making and creating is what makes me feel complete… so posting this blog is an act of joy!

May you return and discover…

    Looks great Lisa,
    I’m not familiar with some of the terms you use but that has to do with my limited art knowledge.
    I will definitely put you in “my favorites.”
    Love this Sparkler, it reminds me of when I take the beaters out of the mix too soon and the chocolate batter goes everywhere. Think I do it on purpose so I can “test” it to make sure it’s good 🙂
    Thanks for including me.
    Peg

    Lisa, I love the idea of you sharing yourself, your thoughts and your beautiful art with everyone. Beauty surrounds us all … in people, in patterns, in nature. You are 100% correct, it is the detail and excitement of the “mundane” which the artist’s eye perceives. And it is the unique visual translation of those “elusive nuances” by the artist’s hand which enhances nature’s beauty to create real art.

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!
