"A Whimsical Bohemian-The Shoppe" Grand Opening Preview AND a magazine article

WOOHOO!! It's finally happening!! I don't know why it's taken me so long to get there but get there I have.

Here is a preview of some of what will be in A Whimsical Bohemian - The Shoppe
"A Face in the Crowd - The Series"
 All of these are done on 10" round canvases(1/2"thick) and no two will ever be exactly alike.

Each face has some kind of embellishment(s) to enhance the design and personality of the face

I use various kinds of acrylic paints, watercolors, pastels, colored pencils and other mediums to create the paintings and all of them are sealed upon completion.

Each one has a name and a bit of a story

There will be no prints made of these.

 I am very much in to faces and tend to notice a persons eyes first and foremost which is why my paintings have such large eyes. Also, all the paintings in this series will always have round faces.

I plan to keep them going and will periodically introduce new faces from the "crowd" to the Shoppe.

I enter this venture with the only expectation being HOPE that others like what they see.

So without further adieu I would like to introduce the "crowd" by name.......(their individual stories will appear when they are placed in the Shoppe)

I hope you enjoyed seeing the faces in my crowd....I enjoy having them around but they are anxious to move on to new places and new experiences.
Now you know what's been keeping me from blogging much or reading other blogs or answering timely emails.

In another piece of news:

In the brand new issue of Artful Blogging there is a lovely article about One World One Heart and me (pg 100). I feel very happy that it is receiving such wonderful press, especially in a publication I look forward to 4 times a year. Also congrats to those whose OWOH giveaways are pictured in the article. Thank you so much Christen and Sara!!


As tired as I am  being able to do what I love is a blessing that I do not take for granted.  I encourage everyone to do the same. ♥ Sometimes doing what you love means focusing on yourself and the time you need to do it. I feel I always want to apologize for not visiting blogs like I used to but to apologize looks like I feel that I am doing something wrong. But you know what, it's not wrong to fully immerse yourself in your dreams for a time, don't you think?  ♥


Thank you for stopping by, thank you for hanging in there with me, thank you for encouraging me all these years, thank you for being you......my beloved blogger friends!
XOXOXOXO
Love,
Lisa
