Welcome to my Studio Blog
Take a peek into my studio and See what inspires me to create my paintings and what’s been happening in my studio and on my travels.
I love to travel, see new places and meet new people. I love to create bold colourful paintings, many of them based on my wonderful travels.
Hi Everyone, Woohoo, I am very happy and having a big kick-ass glass of vino right now and listening to my fav guy "Mr. Dean Martin". I am toasting my new painting. Just off the easel and I am very happy with my first still life.
So here is a picture of the latest painting:
"Tuscany Delights", 60 x 80 cm
And a few close up so you can see some details:
Geez man...the nice orange lights/and darks on the red tomatoes just dont want to show up well on my stupid pics.
And a pic-lol -of all the paints I used - you can also see my messy colourful smock above.
Appreciate any comments you may have and many thanks to you all for your lovely comments during my WIP. Have a great Evening
I will be taking a short painting break from painting before I will be leaving for vacation to Canada for my sister's big wedding, and I can barely wait. So I have quite a bit to do before I leave. So I will see you all back at the easel on October 10th. Have a great upcoming Labour Day!
Hi Everyone, I have been so busy with my Tuscany still life painting. It is really starting to take shape and I am very pleased with it so far. I would love to finish today, but it is highly unlikely. Already 2:30 pm and I have been working on it since 8:00 am. So I am a little tired. Perhaps tomorrow I can finish the painting.
So I leave you with my last wip
Wishing you all a great day
cheers Lisa ----- This painting is always making me hungry..LOL
The theme this week for Illustration Friday is "Visitors". So I submitted my "Amore in Venice" painting. Two little "honeymooner cats" visiting the beautiful city of Venice.
Hi Everyone, I just received my cards from my shop at Greeting Card Universe. The shipping was very fast and the cards were very well packed with matching envelopes in a nice box.
I was really delighted with the quality of the cards and the print! The card paper is nice and thick and the colours are just gorgeous. So I thought I would share some picture with of you my cards:
Wrapped up nice in the Box
The Inside of the Card - Very nice font
A Few close ups
What do you think? I am so anxious to show Andreas – I think they are just gorgeous. As I was so impressed, I ordered some more to use for birthday cards, thank yous, etc.
Hi everyone, have you ever wondered what you would look like as a character on The Simpsons? Well, I found this hilarious site: http://simpsonizeme.com/# and had a blast this morning making Andreas and I as Simpson characters. I think they turned out pretty good based on our photos.
So D’oh…here we are as cartoon characters: 
and on the Crusty the Clown Show!
Unfortunately, you can only do 1 at a time and then export to your computer. Then in Photoshop I had to cut out Andreas’s character and impose him with my background. Had a bitch of time with the finicky magic selection brush tool. Gosh...does anyone know how to use this thing easily. Please do let me know. But after much swearing I got it right. Have fun doing your characters! And a great day!
