old paintings revisited revelatorart style

lately i've been having fun with some of my painting techniques in the VineArts Studio during Open Studio hours. it's been an educational experience for me to look at art books and try to recreate paintings from other artists, but in my own style. this is a common practice of artists...to copy from the Masters and from each other in order to learn and grow in our artistic talents and skills. the following paintings are some that i have recently completed.

my version of the "Armadale Pier" by Caroline Bailey

my version of "The Mulberry Tree" by VanGogh

my version of "Wheatfield with Crows" by VanGogh

my version of "Pollared Willows and Setting Sun" by VanGogh

walking through walls and the creative conversation

I believe art is a language that transcends all language barriers. It's able to get past the walls of cultural differences, age, race, gender, religion, politics, economic standing, education, distance, even time. Creativity is like a conversation. There are conversations going on all the time. Conversations with the artist and the work, with the artist and the Divine, with the artist and nature, with the artist and humankind, with the artist and self. Creativity allows me to come alongside others and enter into the conversations that are already happening. I love listening to conversations. If I'm invited into the conversations this brings about collaboration. Collaboration is an invitation to the sharing of ideas and it's a huge part of building relationship. I believe humankind is a relational people. We need each other. I believe we were created that way by a creative God who is all about relationship with us. And I believe we've been given creativity as a language to relate to each other with. When we connect into the conversation through creativity and allow for collaboration, we are helping to build community together and this fosters relationship. And the walls become invisible between us.

what others are saying about me:

"I love watching her audience as Lisa paints before their eyes. When she's done, people come up and take pictures, and many spontaneously share the meaning the art has for them personally, often in tears. Lisa's artwork is beyond profound; she's in tune with people's spirits."

-Jessie Nilo, Director of VineArts

"Lisa is so strong, and she knows so many techniques and so many people. In all that she does, she exposes people's hearts and opens them up. It's very comforting to have a friend like Lisa."

-Lukas Evergreen, performing artist
