It\u2019s not just business. It\u2019s having these things in my life that fulfills me.<\/p>\n<p>I work part-time on a horse farm in the mornings. I do love the barn environment and feeling close to horses and nature. I feel connected to what\u2019s around me.<\/p>\n<p>I also have been enjoying eating my lunch at the farm when I\u2019m done. I can sit near the outdoor arena and watch horses being ridden. I can just relax and gaze over the farm land of grass hills and trees that line the property. I can gaze up at the sky above.<\/p>\n<p>In these moments I\u2019m observing and thinking about things. I find myself thinking about images and being inspired by what\u2019s around me. It\u2019s these things that may find themselves into one of my art works.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t just sit home waiting for inspiration to happen. It\u2019s takes action. Going some place, doing something, and being out there &#8212; that will lead you to finding what inspires you.<\/p>\n<p>So get out there. Explore and get inspired.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feature Art\/Product:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fineartamerica.com\/featured\/dressage-horse-and-rider-lisa-guarino.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lisasart.com\/dressagehorseandrider_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/fineartamerica.com\/featured\/dressage-horse-and-rider-lisa-guarino.html\">Dressage Horse and Rider<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>scratch board<\/p>\n<p>Original and Prints available for sale.<\/p>\n<p>Check out Great Gift items at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lisasart.com\">Lisa&#8217;s Art &amp; Horses<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Art News<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pawtucketartscollaborative.org\/\">Pawtucket Arts Collaborative Mill Gallery<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nExhibit June 19 to September 4, 2014<\/p>\n<p>Reception; Thursday, June 19<br \/>\n5:30pm \u2013 7:00pm Music<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lisasart.com\/mm-mosaic.jpg\" alt=\"null\" width=\"276\" height=\"322\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.muralmosaic.com\/Cadeau.html\">Le Cadeau du Cheval<\/a>&#8220;<\/strong><br \/>\nSeveral artists in the Equine Art Guild were a part of this unique tribute to the horse.
