Poppies – in remembrance

Hello from torrential rain and storm Charles in Spain! We are fine so far. I think it should be ok where we are albeit very wet!

Today is 11th November and on this designated day our thoughts turn to the men and women who lost their lives so the world could have peace. How easily we forget the lessons learnt. So in these turbulent times where many are again in harms way across the world let’s remember who we are and what we really want for our fragile beautiful world.

This week’s piece doesn’t use stamps. It’s a rough impressionistic painting using pastel sticks.

You may find the video tutorial Here

It’s nice to have a little freedom both creatively and in our lives.

Thanks as always for your support.

Until next time I wish you peace.

Lisa Xx

  1. Lisa that is beautiful. What medium, is it pastel on paint? I was preoccupied making myself a poppy to attend the ceremony in France today, 11/11.

    1. Is just pastel on pastel paper, which is brown in colour and a lightly sanded surface. Wonderful to know you are attending an event in France and we are connecting. Merci beaucoup !❤️

  2. Lisa that is beautiful. What medium, is it pastel on paint? I was preoccupied making myself a poppy to attend the ceremony in France today, 11/11. I see you are in Spain, please take care in that rain storm now arriving, could be bad. It should miss me because I’m hidden behind the Pyrenees. I’ll watch your tutorial later. Jo

  3. Thank you, Lisa. I appreciate your urging us to remember. I agree it is very, very important so it doesn’t get repeated. Thank you for the pastel painting. I’m going to try it. Hugs, Mary Pinniger.
