Her Mum can’t paint for toffee!
Following my Thursday’s Special post I had many requests for more of Lisa’s artwork. I cannot do justice to her lovely home but this is a small sample of it’s beauty. Alternative six words- Is it any wonder I’m proud? Take your pick!
I won’t be here next Saturday. Poor me, I’ll be languishing in the Algarve heat. Take good care of yourselves, and don’t forget to keep the six words going. Debbie’s relying on you.

Beautiful artwork!! That couldn’t be easy to paint on a vertical surface. I wonder, when one is painting a mural, does she use regular house paint?

Hello Nicki 🙂 🙂 Thank you! I don’t honestly know the answer but I wouldn’t have thought so, would you?

As we would say in the States, I can’t paint for beans, but my uncle is a professional and well-known water color artist, still working at 90! We have a daughter who went to art school, so I guess those genes skipped a generation. 🙂 Have a great weekend.

Hi Janet 🙂 Lisa went to art school for a year but dropped out to find her own way. She amazes me with what she can do.

As Meg says, Lisa captures the sense of hover perfectly with those birds and butterflies. The flowers (rock peonies?) are exquisite too. Does she sell her artwork then Jo?

Not at all, Jude. It’s purely for her own pleasure. I wish I had half the ability xx

She is very talented. Some of her work would look good printed as in covers for notebooks etc. She should get in touch with Gilly.

Wow. What amazing artistry. Are these painted on the wall? What daring and what delight and be proud and know she came from your gene pool. She paints “hover” beautifully – the bird and the butterfly are perfectly poised between stillness and motion – and what colours!
I’m sending you hugs from a pub in Casino as I wait for my dinner. Daren’t touch the wine yet – I haven’t eaten since breakfast. Next three nights

Hard to give the full effect because there are beautifully framed photos on all the other walls and the reflections/light intrude, but you get the general idea. 🙂 🙂 Thanks, Anabel! Have a good weekend. We did start with a glimmer of sun, but it’s gone again. 😦
