Whew! It's been awhile. Just noticed that my last post was back in July. Guess I've had a pretty busy Summer. But now that November is almost here and looking out my studio window looks a lot like the background image of this blog, I'll have much more time indoors to work on this sort of thing. Let's start off by catching up on some of my featured Artist of the Month selections over the past few months. I think you're going to love this first one -
Lesley Barrett, Scratchboard Artist, my featured artist for the month of August.
Lesley is mostly self-taught in the medium of Scratchboard, and is a
member of the Australian Guild of Realist Artists and the International
Society of Scratchboard Artists. Most of her work features animals, both
domestic and wildlife. Upon visiting her website, it's easy to see
that her passion for preserving these beautiful animals is as intense as
her talent is in depicting them! Here are a few examples of Lesley's
amazing scratchboards. The
Ocelot Dreaming image is the one that hooked me on her
Facebook page.
I hope you will take some time to drop by her website and visit with
the rest of her portfolio. I've also provided a link to her Facebook
page in case you want to get over there and "Like" it.
Over the past few months, as people have bee "Liking" my Facebook page,
and I've been "Liking" theirs back, I was introduced to Lesley Barrett,
Scratchboard Artist. I immediately knew who was going to be my
featured Artist of the Month for August. I think when you visit
her website and see her body of work, you will be blown away, as I was!
Seeing as how Lesley lives in Australia, I doubt our paths would ever
have crossed without the World Wide Web and this social media thing
called Facebook. Click on any of the images to go over to Lesley's website, and there is a link in previous paragraph to her Facebook page. Enjoy!
