bed drawing :: beds in poppyland, 2007, watercolor, colored pencil, thread/embroidery on Duralar, 18” x 8”
as promised. here are some drawings from my show. i'll show the other 1/2 next week..... thank you SO much for your enthusiasm about the show.... and your willingness to help me with trees. that brought such a smile to my face. i hope i can take you up on your offers of help !!
the drawings for the show also all dealt in some way with the "natural world". i looked for wallpaper or patterns that exemplify our desire to bring the outside in. and since i imagine the beds and chairs as representations of people.... our longing to be outside and one with nature... and connected to one another. the whole if chairs had a memory idea.... i also decided to represent nature with the doily so there are clouds and trees that are made up of doilies.... you get the idea.

wow Lisa... those are all so amazing.
i'm floored.
Oh. My. God.
I love Fly me away. Absolutely love it.
And oooooo, you went to Heath. When I am up north, please do not let me go to Heath. I covet their tiles, bowls, chez panisse line... their style, color palate, anything they touch...
beautiful lisa. i love "once there was a yellow chair"--gorgeous as always.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
Fantastic work Lisa. I wish I could get over there so that I could have a closer look.
Hope you have a great weekend too.

o lisa, I am in love with the cranes carrying that chair. o o o!
my heart skipped when this opened on my screen... i don't really have the words but... wow. really really love all of these, the colors, the dreaminess, the memories (my parents had wallpaper very much like the one in fly me away... it was made of reeds! very outdoors-in :))
xoxo
"fly me away" and "once there was a yellow chair" are so very beautiful... they are, from looking at the screen, two firm favourites of mine. I wish, wish, wish I could see the show in person and I am keen to see the second instalment of pics. Congratulations, Lisa!
take care, g xoxo

Thanks for sharing these - they are gorgeous!
Beautiful drawings, I particularly love that first one!

He chose them himself as he loves nature and flowers, and they are idetical to those poppies!! Isn't that funny???? Not exactly identical, but pretty close!!
