Sometimes you've just got to embrace the toddler in you and just play. Watch the textures building up, look for the hidden image and let that secret place you build pull you in for adventure.

One girl's mess is another girl's Jackson Pollock after all...
Floribunda
And when one is invited to a party with a whole heap of other artists, then frankly darling what more could you expect?
Floribunda detail
I want to dive into that texture, lick it and stroke it. Am I deranged? Probably! But hey, I'm an artist... we're allowed to be a bit strange - it's part of the job description.
Happy thoughts
I'm off now to go drape myself in scarves and jangly jewellery so I jingle when I jig!

:) Nicely written.
ReplyDeleteBeautifuly written! I love to play, too. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun creative post! Love the abstract work here. Love the words too! Happy PPF.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work and great words! all so true. I want to go dress sparkly and jangly myself today. Never comfortable without a scarf!
ReplyDeleteIt is quite true that the creation must always be funny otherwise it is just work and work ...
ReplyDeleteUsing colors and shapes in a truly harmonious. Hugs
Loving every bit of it, loose and free. Great job! ;)
ReplyDeletePlaying in mixed media is fun. I played today. I got up at 4:00AM and attended the Royal Wedding-at a PJ party! We wore crowns bought from the party store, sipped our coffee and tea in fancy cups, ate fancy finger foods for breakfast and watched the whole thing on the big screen tv..how's that for play Lisa?
ReplyDeleteColorful, fun and wonderful! I especially like Happy Thoughts.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I want to jingle and jig too! I love the floribunda detail- and all the rest too. There's so much I see in this piece; dancing ladies and flowers....it just pure MAGIC!

P.S. I heard you bought Luthien's necklace (or was it earrings?) anyway, I got the ring!
Wow, every one of these pieces is just gorgeous, and very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteCheerful and colorful work. I just makes one happy while viewing! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this play! The colors and textures (and compositions, for that matter) remind me of Paul Klee and Marc Chagall.
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to let loose with some texture :)

Oh how fun! Your post was such a delight to read and definitely full of delicious texture and color for the eye to glory in. Makes me want to go play right now. LOVED this! Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteare you jingling? you have made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI love each and everyone of these, the colors, shapes, liveliness, all wonderful!
Lisa, your "playing" has wonderful results - I think I should play more!!! Great colors.
ReplyDeleteI love your playing and exploring, Lisa! The first one is my favourite. Love all of the happy colours. :)
ReplyDeleteLove that you jingle, fits right in with your lovely post for sure. These are all wonderfully fun.
ReplyDeleteLoved the first one then discovered I loved the other two too.
ReplyDeleteThey're all amazing! Can I ask what medium you use? This is the type of fun, spontaneous work I've been attempting to create as opposed to my rigid ink drawings.
ReplyDeleteOkay we are a bit strange but that makes us interesting and not boring! Adore your post....funny and enlightening...we all love to play...keeps us sane and young, at least that's we hope for.
ReplyDeleteYour art truly resonates what your soul conveyed in words.
I love all of these, you are so good with abstract.
ReplyDeletelove the colors, textures and movement in Floribunda! I wanna dive in too! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and textures!!! So Vibrant! You have such a wonderful spirit!
ReplyDeleteI love your post words as much as your wonderful artwork - I laughed at the jingling bit - sounds fabulous and eccentric and if you ever arrange an arty get together please do count me in!!
ReplyDeleteAs for your work - wow - are they all separate pieces or different photos of one huge piece? I love them whichever way it is but the colours and details seem to make a theme. Love it!
What a great post! Your paintings are lovely and clearly you totally enjoyed their creation! Makes me want to play, too!
ReplyDeleteOh! I love the texture in these. I love everything about them. :0)
ReplyDeleteI hope one day to loosen up enough to be able to create like this as well.
These are fabulous Lisa! What wonderful playful pieces! It looks like you not only had a great time but wow!! the creations!
ReplyDeletePretty! All of them. :) I´d like to meet you and play. :D
