Creative Every Day 2014

Hello Lovelies!

I'm a bit late in updating this but here goes: I'm renewing my pledge to daily creativity and I'm signing in CED 2014! You'l find the CED logo on the right column of this blog.

I like a challenge that is calling to add more creativity in our everyday lives, art-wise or otherwise. To learn more about this challenge, you can read here.

So... to get my creative juices flowing I got myself a notebook from MUJI and started doodling away. Here is a preview of I've done sone far:

 

I'll post a whole new series of drawings soon!

 

Isn't that notebook lovely? I'm a stationery junkie!

You Are A Butterfly

Hello Lovelies!

I really, really love this quote:

Let's be grateful that we have a leap year in 2012, and cherish that special day!

Steamin' Monday

Hello Lovelies,

I first thought I'd share a Monday Moodboard with you, but then thought sharing a brand new doodle, or even... three, would be much nicer!

Here's the first one of all three, drawn this afternoon:

Enjoy!

New Paintings & Doodles of the Day

Hello Lovelies!

one of my "moody" oil paintings. oil on canvas. Lipson (c) 2011. photo, my own.

I'm glad to tell you guys I have resumed my "Doodle of the day" personal challenge. It consists in doodling/drawing a small drawing, one per day, every day. You can see the one I did yesterday here, and the one I did today right here.

Insects, tea scenes, gingko leaves are to be expected in these series... ;-)

While uploading my doodle of the day to flickr today, I realized that I had mistakenly put some of my oil paintings in the wrong set! This is now corrected and you can see all of my moody oil paintings online. One of them is shown above.

Enjoy!

Latest TeaButterfly drawings...

Hello Lovelies!

So this time I'm really back home at last and happy to share with you the handmade postcards I drew while staying at the hospital. Here are the goodies:

"Steaming Teapot with Two Dragonflies" - by TeaButterfly - oct. '10

 "Steaming Teapot with Orange-Winged Dragonfly" - by TeaButterfly - oct. '10

I used them both as postcards for friends, so these two won't appear in my Etsy shop (to re-open asap), but I still wanted to share them with you.

During my stay at the hospital, I also drew in different style, did some collages including dried leaves found in the marvelous garden you'll virtually tour with me tomorrow, and got inspired by Hungarian Fauvism, as I mentioned in a previous post... ;-)

So more goodies to come soon!

New Tea Drawing and Other Musings

Hello Lovelies!

Don't you just love graceful dragonflies? And still steaming tea just brings peace of mind, don't you think?...

I'm happy to announce that a new "Tea with Dragonfly" drawing is ready to be added to my Etsy shop! i just need to take additional photographs of it to put it online for sale.

So here's my new piece... Mmmh, there's something wrong with blogger and i just can't upload it... You can see it on flickr though, right here. Until I fix things!

Fixed ! Here it is :

My new piece of art has the same setting as the tea scene pictured above, except it's a "Tea Scene in Blue, Orange and Green".

Hello Lovelies!

"Tea with Lost Feather" - original art by Vic Lipson

...and Happy Monday to you!

I'm busy as a bee preparing a Monday Mood Board - made out of my flickr faves - for you to enjoy, as well as fine tuning this brand new blog for an optimal enjoyable reading experience. If you have a look at my complete profile, you'll see I'm adding a lot of goodies to my blogroll, while trying to keep "My Cup of Tea" (favorite blogs) to a maximum of five highlights!

Now to the fun, creative part... :-) I've been drawing a tea scene in a entirely different style (for me) this past week-end and I'm happy to announce it's up on the shop! It's called "Tea with a Lost Feather". More photos and views are available here. Please note that just *one* image is a scan, while the other are photographs that I took, trying on different settings and lights, so you'll get the best idea of how this piece of art really looks!

Hope you enjoy it!
