My thoughts for this day....Define Yourself!

My thoughts for this day....
Whether you are an Artist, a Book-keeper or a Bus Driver, other peoples opinions of you are none of your business is a great quote to remember during times when you may feel 'picked on' or 'judged' by others. Just remember that this behaviour simply indicates that the ...individual who is doing the 'picking' has unresolved issues relating to their own self worth. YOU define who you are, not others, so stand by yourself. ~ LFJ ♥ Messages from the Soul Page.
Besides being a professional Artist, I am also a Certified Life Coach and a Psychic Reader.  Yes, I have a few strings to my bow.

COFFEE, GOSSIP AND GIRLFRIENDS

If you are a woman, you have most likely spent a morning or afternoon gossipping and catching up over coffee and cupcakes with a trusted girlfriend, or two. It's a wonderfully pleasurable time where you can relax, reflect and reveal the goings on in and around your life, and share things that you wouldn't tell your husband (or your Mother!).

CELEBRATE THE GIRLFRIENDS IN YOUR LIFE

Girlfriends are essential to a woman's life. I know that I couldn't get by without my great girlfriends and I always look forward to our coffee catch ups. To celebrate this important relationship, I am working on a new watercolour & ink pen artwork called 'Coffee n Gossip' which you can see below.


FOLLOW MY ART IN PROGRESS PHOTOS ON FB

If you LIKE my Art Facebook Page (see the new Badges on this Blog to click through) you will get to view all my Art Albums, Art Sold, Art for Sale, Art in Progress, Art Sculptures etc.

The Artworks in progress Albums (2011 & 2012) are popular as many people like to see how an artwork is created from the initial sketch up, through various stages of painting/drawing and then the finished product.

QUIRKY IS MY MIDDLE NAME!

The word QUIRKY is often used together with my Artworks.  I like to see the world as it could be. In Art, there is no need to paint a tree green, just because it IS in our world. To me, Art is all about IMAGINATION... and mine has always been rich and full.  I could paint exactly what I see in this world, but WHY? when creating something else is just so much more FUN.

I want people to purchase my artworks because they INSPIRE them to DREAM, to REMEMBER HAPPY TIMES or EVOKE a positive emotion. 

One NEW way I have extended my Artistic Creations recently is through introducing my Air Dried Clay Art Sculptures... They are each Hand Made and then Hand Painted and Varnished and no two are exactly alike.

I have so far made chickens, penguins and owls and other animals will be introduced soon.  CUSTOM ORDERS can be made for these quirky creatures on request.  I've already made one custom owl and another one has been ordered in sea greens and blues.

So here are some of my Arty Sculptures to check out...

Precious Penguins Small A$85 & Large A$100.
OR A$150 together. + pack n post.
Briony (Smaller) and Hariette (Larger) Owls
Briony Owl is Custom & SOLD
Hariette is for Sale A$95. + pack n post


Funkie Chicken Large A$110. + pack n post

Welcome to my colourful world....



EARTH WOULD BE 'EH' WITHOUT ART!
I wanted to start my new Lisa's Arty Life Blog with this art quote, which is one of my favorites. Can you imagine a world without ART??? How drab would life be without colour, design and imagination?

I can't even imagine it.

My Artworks are designed to evoke happy memories, joyful feelings or just bring a smile to your face and your day. 

Colour is an obsession of mine.... and combining colours to create something magical to view is an artform in itself.
