"Good morning Lisa... Hope you like the paintings.
love Auntie"
Yes, I love the paintings, Auntie...
You are such a wonderful artist...
I like the fact that you loved painting just for the joy of painting... I don't remember you selling any of your artwork, but I do remember, as a child, watching as you mixed your oils on a board, and trying your best to explain what you were doing... Oh, how I wish I would have listened to you and learned from you all those years ago.
Some 30 years later, when you show me your work, I still hear the same joy in your voice...
I love the passion you have for your work...
It inspires me to be passionate about my own creativity...
You are an incredible artist... and an incredible Auntie
Love, Lisa

ReplyDeleteHey Auntie!!!
ReplyDeleteI know you read Ladylee's blog. It has been awhile since we got to yack on the phone together.
You know you are THE WOMAN. You know how to do all sorts of things very well.
Ladylee has been really driving all of us here at work crazy with that Deja vu song. I hear it WAY more the everybody else because we share a cubicle!!! It is Deja Vu alright because I keep hearing this song over and over. The first few times we were jammin' ...now I just want to throw her speaker out the window. But for you auntie I will just put up with it until her next post.
LOVE YOU
Cowgirl Cre
Wow. You got talent running all up and through your family!!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! I've always wanted to do oil paintings! I've done every medium but that one...chalk, pencil, ink, pastel, etc.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked my latest work. I like painting the close-up flowers. I have sold quite afew paintings. You don't remember but I helped bury Poppy off commissioned oil portraits. Remember the 3 big faces I painted when your were 5 years old? You rested your head on my left shoulder and quietly watched me paint and I'm lefthanded. I didn't mind because you were always such a sweet child. I can get lost in a never ending sort of sweet insanity that I can't explain, and God is always showing me beautiful things in people and things to draw and paint. When I see something I want to paint - I'll say "oooooooooooh...!!!!!!!! ".
Love you. & much love cre. Thanks all.
@ Cowgirl Cre...
ReplyDeletejust for that, Cre... "Deja Vu" will be playing on repeat in our cubicle for the rest of September...
@Auntie...
You know, I never knew you sold any of your artwork! Maybe because I never heard you saying "Damn, I gotta go paint because I gotta make this money." No, you were always happy and at peace when you painted...
And LOL at the laying my head on your shoulder while you painted... so sorry! You should have made me switch to your right shoulder! LOL!
I remember those three faces... I remember just staring at them and how they would scare me sometimes because they looked soooo real... Everything you've painted looks like a photograph!
Getting "lost in a never ending sort of sweet insanity that I can't explain". Man, we all need that sometimes, don't we?
I will be over this Sunday to help you prime canvases... and I may even barbeque up a mess of crabs for you (you know how much you love those!)
Your aunt is a great painter/artist. Those are beautiful and of my favorite things...flowers....
ReplyDelete"I like the fact that you loved painting just for the joy of painting..."
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, that's the best reason for anyone to do anything; because they enjoy it.
Your aunt if very talented
Those paintings are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think people who have passion in what they do tend to wrry less about the money that way they retain the love in doing it.
