\u201cBlooming\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cApril showers bring May-flowers.\u201d<\/p>\n Rain has brought flowers thankfully. Our daffodils are in bloom. And they look so lovely in the front yard. Good things, as blooming, come in their own natural time.<\/p>\n Both my girls were born in spring time months, March and April. They\u2019re growing too, of course. Ah yes, another year passing by.<\/p>\n Red robins, Mocking birds and others are back for the warmer weather.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve had some warmer days.<\/p>\n At the farm I volunteer at, at least a couple of the horses and the adult pig were sun bathing in the warmth of the sun yesterday. It\u2019s wonderful to take in this spring weather.<\/p>\n Take time to enjoy it.<\/p>\n Feature Art\/Product<\/strong><\/p>\n “Early Morning”<\/p>\n Pen and Ink\/ Watercolor pencils<\/p>\n I did this drawing for a weekly drawing event. The image was done for the word “Early”.<\/p>\n In the morning now with spring in full swing I hear birds outside my window. The Northeastern Mocking bird can be heard mimicking the other birds in the area. It’s long drawn out song is a mix of other bird calls. I love to hear it.<\/p>\n Check out Great Gift items at Lisa’s Art & Horses<\/a><\/p>\n Gift Certificates available.<\/p>\n Please feel free to contact me with questions on art\/products and\/or comments at lisa@lisasart.com<\/p>\n Art News<\/strong><\/p>\n “Le Cadeau du Cheval<\/a>” Soldier Portraits<\/strong> For more information, contact Darla (darla@darladixon.com<\/a>) or visit SoldierPortraits.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cBlooming\u201d \u201cApril showers bring May-flowers.\u201d Rain has brought flowers thankfully.

\nI also spy some other green leaves. I identified one set of leaves as tulip leaves. The flower will grow a stem and bud that will open. Not just yet, but in good time.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.lisasart.com\/IFearlyLG.jpg\")

\nSeveral artists in the Equine Art Guild were a part of this unique tribute to the horse. Click on the image above to read all about it and the artists who participated in it’s creation, as well as see where it will be coming to a location near you in the coming year!<\/p>\n
\nDarla Dixon organized a group of artists who will create no-charge compassionate portraits for the families who have lost a loved one in Operation Iraqi Freedom\/Operation Enduring Freedom. We are looking for artists to join our efforts, and also for non-artists who will help spread the word about this free service and token of our gratitude to families who have sacrificed so much.”<\/p>\n
