The desert has never been a place I wanted to go but there are some interesting plants, lots of small bunnies and bleakly picturesque(?) views. Also, there is a supposedly temporary art installation out here by Ugo Rondinone called Seven Magic Mountains. According to the website <a href="http://sevenmagicmountains.com">sevenmagicmountains.com</a>, these outdoor sculptures were intended to be available for viewing from May 2016 until May 2018. Although the artist and producers received a 3-year extension (according to <a href="https://www.travelawaits.com/2561096/seven-magic-mountains-nevada/" target="_blank">this article</a> on Travel Awaits), the installation does not appear to have a definite future. Personally, I hope it remains for as long as it lasts. These neon, pastel, metallic and brightly colored rock totems are a lovely sight to behold when the sky is blue and the world around is (as usual) kind of a beige color.</span><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTZbvAHAe1SOyVmRNZsIvH4o64Phr0aChNBtks1apI-aPjWWN6jYLChjI-8YfOzTN-gOtYuUyJd8RKD4haj-kKqCr0lL1JLgishOxiCmIabxzZPDDK78h_cFgY-r_tTstJTShd6VRdnRzibU3KmP3hdXThjeNsH_GiyBffiJlx0BYgFPJbt0EMTz_PTw/s5472/50285BDA-5E36-4271-96F0-CB538BEA1292_1_201_a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="5472" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTZbvAHAe1SOyVmRNZsIvH4o64Phr0aChNBtks1apI-aPjWWN6jYLChjI-8YfOzTN-gOtYuUyJd8RKD4haj-kKqCr0lL1JLgishOxiCmIabxzZPDDK78h_cFgY-r_tTstJTShd6VRdnRzibU3KmP3hdXThjeNsH_GiyBffiJlx0BYgFPJbt0EMTz_PTw/w614-h408/50285BDA-5E36-4271-96F0-CB538BEA1292_1_201_a.jpeg" width="614" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04683916906737850788noreply@blogger.com0S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89054, USA35.8384095 -115.2709157.5281756638211519 -150.427165 64.14864333617885 -80.114665tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580418398101543042.post-15886837767466706362013-06-08T13:48:00.002-04:002013-06-09T22:59:56.199-04:00Pet CemeteryThe Pine Ridge Pet Cemetery located in Dedham, Massachusetts contains the <b><a href="http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/11207">Grave of Igloo, Admiral Richard Byrd's Dog</a></b> and the <b><a href="http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/11209">Grave of Lizzie Borden's Dogs</a></b>, both of which are featured on <a href="http://www.roadsideamerica.com/">Roadside America's website</a>. My friend Lindalea and I visited the cemetery in February. At the time we went, we didn't have exact directions (these are now available on the aforementioned site) so we walked through a muddy ravine and climbed up some moss covered stone steps before we found it.<br />

As I continued to work on the story, I decided to re-shoot some scenes and add more pictures to certain sections. This is one of the new photographs from The Land of Teacups. I'm really happy with how the story is looking so far and am super excited to launch the new site! I'll be posting a new photograph from the story each week until the site launches :)Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04683916906737850788noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580418398101543042.post-28498461144189960652010-05-15T18:59:00.000-04:002010-05-15T18:59:52.213-04:00Fun Stuff<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_etQKIAF381EQAgcuBNDqAMz8fh40jXx6rsbZ6yrl1s2WtP_5cYl4ti61_sLz1xLIoXope-Yt1-3ZF0LCeFzQHjuVOx5SWIYgwk0LGhBe8T2-HEGPFCGb06QFBnvhdn8BTMxATv-3RWom/s1600/IMG_0001_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_etQKIAF381EQAgcuBNDqAMz8fh40jXx6rsbZ6yrl1s2WtP_5cYl4ti61_sLz1xLIoXope-Yt1-3ZF0LCeFzQHjuVOx5SWIYgwk0LGhBe8T2-HEGPFCGb06QFBnvhdn8BTMxATv-3RWom/s320/IMG_0001_2.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPDjrg0n-CSnvCQDxDFGB8zy1HbLVvIox7BOF_1RJmF5n0cRUrHZK4ss19Uhe9_shOziWjoLZpBHPDycBZEIETgnC6EVlVXb867pvErRuwkRojo0PUEZV5JQfqzZUtOqsU7LCAHeyzWNZu/s1600/IMG_0004_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPDjrg0n-CSnvCQDxDFGB8zy1HbLVvIox7BOF_1RJmF5n0cRUrHZK4ss19Uhe9_shOziWjoLZpBHPDycBZEIETgnC6EVlVXb867pvErRuwkRojo0PUEZV5JQfqzZUtOqsU7LCAHeyzWNZu/s320/IMG_0004_2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0ILx4I9MD0dAlhcPDjLbDJPDMuTkVqSeRuDBHWy9ydTkNWrvF-q7ncJVvWg95bh3_8f_v5gsozhRBmrKCqPKsrAR9bDzGYh1ahKFLbs3Tx0yNzOUrObwD5BL-fAumokJmeTOfZaAv-Zp/s1600/IMG_0005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0ILx4I9MD0dAlhcPDjLbDJPDMuTkVqSeRuDBHWy9ydTkNWrvF-q7ncJVvWg95bh3_8f_v5gsozhRBmrKCqPKsrAR9bDzGYh1ahKFLbs3Tx0yNzOUrObwD5BL-fAumokJmeTOfZaAv-Zp/s320/IMG_0005.jpg" /></a></div>I bought this magazine/manga/thingy the other day at a superfantastic bookstore.

Although I like to use gouache, watercolor and oil, my favorite paints to work with are aqua oils which, like all oil paints, take some time to dry. I've been working on these little 4" squares recently which make it easy to switch between paintings so I don't waste paint. These paintings should be dry in a couple of days so I can varnish them and put them in my etsy shop.

<p>A few days ago, still not happy with the next scene in The Adventures of Hazel, I decided to step away from it and concentrate on The Candy Room. I'm building the room from scratch so it's a bit of a project, especially since I've never created something like this. I made some major changes in the appearance of the next scene so I'm looking forward to rephotographing it tonight.</p>

Hazel had not seen The Candy Room in ages. It was a rather difficult place to locate, but Hazel had a feeling she would be visiting it very soon. Unfortunately, she did not have long to reflect on this lovely thought. Everything around her was rumbling. Hazel put on a burst of speed as a bright pink flash urged her on. The storm was coming . . .Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04683916906737850788noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580418398101543042.post-69611854540213863342009-04-14T19:08:00.004-04:002009-12-15T18:05:10.648-05:00The Adventures of Hazel (A Picture Story) Part 8<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx4RWhmd3OEjWCmkO72oNjdpL4nNgjqzpO3dd6NPCiEUYxMTr2VQN4wHt64QMiN6bR4t57b_v3pQzDniZ6JgNA4bIhdktKU2GYI25Y42mxCqNT488sqq8bYwdc7tSbQ1L0HJTf1a7SjJ-w/s1600-h/hazeljam.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx4RWhmd3OEjWCmkO72oNjdpL4nNgjqzpO3dd6NPCiEUYxMTr2VQN4wHt64QMiN6bR4t57b_v3pQzDniZ6JgNA4bIhdktKU2GYI25Y42mxCqNT488sqq8bYwdc7tSbQ1L0HJTf1a7SjJ-w/s400/hazeljam.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324705479200298274" border="0" /></a>
And then many things began to happen very quickly. The sky darkened and the world around her became gray and stormy. The kitty and pony were gone now.
As Hazel ran/flew from the storm, she noticed several swans hovering below her. The sound of whispering voices speaking a language that is only understood in dreams swelled from the golden swan.
