Latest Painting

My latest painting created for an exhibit at Acadia University Art Gallery. The exhibit is called Large/small and is created by Visual Arts Nova Scotia for the Regional Artists of the Annapolis Valley. This piece is 4' x 5' and was created using acrylic, pastel and pencil. The piece will be framed and set up for proper hanging. I am so looking forward to this exciting exhibit and to find out what all the other artists of the region have created!!!

Newest Paintings by Lala

Since i've returned home from a very inspiring workshop in New Mexico, i've had the chance to experiment with the techniques i've learned and have actually created some new pieces. I am very excited about this new direction for my work. The process is such a refreshing change from what I have taught myself about painting and what I have read about other approaches or philosophies of painting. I truly love the organic nature of this process. Thanks Jesse for such a fantastic workshop!!

Painting Workshop in New Mexico

Just got back from my art trip to New Mexico and Texas. I attended a painting workshop with my all time favourite artist Jesse Reno ~ he rocks!!!! It's been one day since my arrival back home and i'm already in my studio painting a way. You can check out Jesse Reno's work by visiting www.jessereno.com. Not only is he an incredible artist but he incorporates his life philosophy to his style of painting. If you have a chance to take a workshop I would highly recommend it. His partner Lana (the far left) is also a highly talented artist and you can check out her creative line by visiting www.crudethings.com.

Here is a painting that is a work in progress ~ this is the piece I was working on during the workshop. I will post another photo when this one is complete.
