I\u2019ve always love creating art. I also enjoyed sharing it.  One Mother\u2019s day I  presented my mom with an oil painting of daisies in a vase.  She loved it.  Today the daisies are still there on the wall above the desk in their bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>When I and my hubby were getting a little more serious in dating and  our relationship, He gave me an idea for a painting.  He had this rug from Italy with two lions on it.  As a gift to him, I did my own painting of the painting on the rug with some slight variation. Once we were married the painting was placed in our bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>When I was pregnant with our first girl and  moved into our new house, I planned out a special mural for the child\u2019(s) room. I painted a Noah\u2019s ark theme, which included the animals, a huge boat and a rainbow.  Our first daughter was born midst the time of this creation.  I remember putting her down for a nap and going to paint.  Since that time she\u2019s enjoyed looking at it from time to time. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lisasart.com\/NoahsArk.htm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lisasart.com\/Noahsarkmural.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"133\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This past April my oldest daughter turned 6.  One of her birthday gifts was an art easel.  She likes to paint.  I make sure to place her art on the wall to enjoy too.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a powerful love that comes from sharing with family thru the years.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Mother\u2019s Day<\/p>\n<h3>Feature Art\/product<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lisasart.com\/FoalsatPlay.htm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lisasart.com\/FoalsatPlay_thumb.jpg\" width=\"206\" height=\"215\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lisasart.com\/FoalsatPlay.htm\">&#8220;Foals at Play&#8221;<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>There is a joy in watching foals out at play, running and kicking about.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lisasart.com\/t-shirtdesign.html\">Foals at Play<\/a>&#8221; image is available on T-shirts.<\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to contact me with questions on art\/products and\/or comments at lisa@lisasart.com<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Art  News<\/h3>\n<p>The Equine Art Guild&#8217;s newest Showing<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;REFLECTIONS&#8221;<br \/>the third in a series of virtual Art Shows by the members of the Equine Art Guild<br \/>The Equine Art Guild is proud to showcase this special 10th Anniversary Virtual Art Show for members of the Equine Art Guild.<\/p>\n<p>In our spirit of equality and comraderie, we have helped each other grow in our artistic skills over the years.
