The Unexpected

The Unexpected
Acrylic, oil pastel, and pitt pen on 10x14" canvas board

Unexpected things always come...some are good...some are bad.  I like the good ones....they are much more fun.

Here's to those good unexpected things.

I treasure your visits on this blog.  I am one artist among a HUGE sea of talented people on this planet.  The fact that you would look at my humble creations and even like them has been most unexpected for me.  

Thank you.
Thank you.

  6. Lisa, you are so talented and your paintings express so much! I love coming here to see what you come up with next! Unexpected? Well, I'm still blown away by the kindness from strangers I've run into around my new town. Also, being in a neighborhood where neighbors share things from their gardens, a good morning hello for the deck while watering plants, and tickets to a Mariners game! It's just so different from the life I lived in Vegas.

  10. This is a beautiful post Lisa. I like an unexpected kiss from my hubby, an unexpected lick from my dogs, an unexpected act of kindness from a stranger...

  11. another beauty! love the title .. and the little letter waiting for her. do you think it is a long lost love?

  12. Aaawww this is great. You do not want the lines to be so straight unless you are going for a realistic image. My oil paintings have crooked lines. Hehehe. I only try to draw straight lines if I am in the mood for perfection, even then it turns out imperfect. Perfectly imperfect! I love this painting. What a pleasant impression. Oh and unexpected, let's see...none for me today except I am irritated by incompetent people. Oh yes, it has been raining frequently here so they declared the drought officially over. :) Have a great week!

  24. Another fabulous painting my friend. This one has me smiling.

    There are so many sweet people here an the internet.. Who Knew..

    For me it has to be that Hubby came home last night and out of the blue said lets go camping. So I spent the day packing and grocery shopping and getting ready.. This time we will be in our tent. Not our trailer. Should be an adventure.

    Hugs~

  26. What an emotional painting, I can just feel the thrill of surprise when the lady sees the letter. You are really talented. It doesn't matter that there are so many other artists, everyone is different and you certainly have something special.

  27. good painting..good post. I agree, it is amazing that people visit blogs--there are zillions of them. My unexpected thing is that I found someone on YouTube...thought he was amazing and so forth, and it turns out that he lives near me. "small world"!

  28. This is a very interesting painting - like a scene from a drama. What will be in the letter? I like the way it is the "moment before." The shape of the chair on the side, gives it a kind of haunting tone, to me. Great one!

    My unexpected surprise of the week? An old friend contacted me to say he had been reading my blog, and wanted to buy two of my works and commission a third!

  33. I like how the mystery of your image is whether the letter or the lady is the unexpected... colors, textures and patterns go a good ways in setting the mood.
    nice.
