November Blog from the Studio of Lisa Skyheart Marshall


 It's November in Ojai, and I've just returned from a walk with my dog Enzo. It's warm out today, part of the warm-cold-warm weather we are experiencing here in Ojai.

I've been very busy in the art studio, painting, promoting and preparing prints for sale. My fine art prints are presented with a backing board and inside a clear sleeve.  All materials are archival. They are signed and numbered.

I have several beautiful fine art(giclee)prints, and you can find those in my Etsy shop as well as in the Focus on the Masters Shop.  I'm also offering a very small number of the handmade felt owls that I made a year ago.  Since I've been laser-focused on my fine art paintings, I did not make owls last summer, so if you'd like to get an owl or two, now is your chance!

If you want to treat yourself, or if you are starting your gift shopping, please have a look at my offerings.  I'll provide links at the end of this blog.

Right now, I'm working on a new 8x10 painting inspired by my short trip to the seashore a couple of weeks ago.  I was able to keep to myself and stay safe, while freeing my mind of concerns while walking along the beach.  This work-in-progress painting shows some of the interesting and wonderful things I discovered in my walks. You can check out progress pics from drawing to the present in my Instagram: @skyheartart

Included in November's blog is a photo of the completed painting titled "Scrub Jay Nest and Moon", a 12x12 painting inspired by a scrub jay nest that was in our front garden's hedge. It's so clever, I think, how a bird can construct these nests. I'm hoping we have nesting jays next year. If you'll go back to October's blog you'll see some photos from the very beginnings of this painting.  It's also available in limited edition prints.

You can also see an assortment of oak acorns in this painting from around our back garden; we have several tall oak trees shading our blue house.

I've made an area under the oaks where we can safely distance-gather with family, with benches and chairs and I put some jasmine bushes in big pots in that area, dreaming of when they blossom and give off a lovely scent to us and our visitors.

It's a good place to daydream, and artists need their daydreaming time.
