Colourful Travels Calendar at Redbubble.com
Hi Everyone, An oustanding artist friend of mine, Kim Barker recently purchased one of my colourful travel calendars at Red Bubble.com and just posted a pic on her webpage. I think the calendar looks really great and excellent quality, so I thought I would share a pic of it with you. You can see more of my calendars at http://www.redbubble.com/people/lisalorenz

Busy Week & a new WIP - Provence Landscape

Orange Passion 40 x 40 cm SOLD
Then I started a new painting yesterday- a landscape scene of beautiful Provence, France. I have decided to do a WIP of this one:

Blocking in some colour now

Almost all the colour is blocked in now. Just need to add some light greens and the provence blue for the windows and doors. Then my favourite part of the painting begins, where it starts to come alive when I add definition, lights, darks, etc...Stay tuned

Tuscan Poppies II
Managed to work in the studio this week and I finished a smaller version of my original Poppies - Under the Tuscan Sun painting. This one is 25 x 50 cm (half the size of the original one). It will be exhibited at the Gallery de La Rive in November. A good time for Rememberance/Veteran's Day.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend and Happy Thanksgiving. We celebrate our Thanksgiving early in Canada.

Hope you are all doing well. We have been having some amazing weather here in Ottawa. Its' been about 2 weeks and no rain. I can hardly believe it after a very rainy summer. I also had my good friend Sue from Vancouver visiting for a week.
I also received 1st Place for the Viewers Choice Award for my Maritime Special painting. And even better, I sold the painting. Wishing you all a great day!

New Fun Painting - Ballerina Girls
Also I just finished a painting I did for my little niece Margaux who is turning 3 months old this Saturday. I cant believe how fast time is flying by! It’s quite cute and I thought I would share the pic with you all.
Margaux and Friends, 40 x 50 cm, Acrylics

Also here is a more generic one I did. Basically the same painting with a hand painted "Friends" template on top of the banner - to be sold as prints, cards, etc. I also have one where the orange banner is left blank, so I can add all sorts of things to the banner: Happy Birthday, Girl Power, personal names, etc.... the possibilities are endless...lol. It was really fun painting this one. Andreas wants to do a story book now based on these little characters…LOL.


Have a great weekend everyone! and happy painting!
