“All artists are a little bit crazy!” “Artists are different.”
Over the years, I’ve chuckled when someone looked at my whimsical works and noted the difference in our personalities.
Yes, artists are programmed differently, and most of us rejoice that every waking moment is a gift! Whether soaking in a sun-drenched street scene or admiring an alignment of overhead pelicans or noting subtle color differences in a landscape, an artist’s eyes never rest!
When living in Costa Rica, I lived immersed in nature and marveled at the beauty that surrounded me. I was also intrigued that most of the handmade products I bought were made in Ecuador. Hammocks, pottery, linens, masks – Ecuador, Ecuador, Ecuador. From my first exploratory visit, Ecuador stole my heart! I now divide my time between Ecuador and Central America, and I look forward to exploring more of South America.
Although you cannot step inside my studio from your vantage point, this site will give you a glimpse into the life of the zeebra. Hopefully you’ll emerge with a lighter heart!

Artists are only a “little bit crazy”?
ja ja! i’ve been on a painting binge today, and for sure i’m more than a little bit crazy today! it’s been a fun day of painting a deck overlooking the river! z
We may be crazy but it gives us good stories to tell…

The artwork you’re posing with is positively brilliant! You standing there, smiling alongside your art makes the association even more uplifting.
Thanks again for sharing your wonderful talent and work.

Maybe artists just seem crazy because their sanity is too bright for typical sleepy eyes.
Love that tree. Or is it a river? Or lava flowing into the ocean? Or … never mind.
Good to see you in the picture, too.
Congratulations! Writewireless has nominated you for the Sunshine Award! Please see http://writewireless.wordpress.com/2014/05/02/thanks-for-the-sunshine-award-nomination/ for instructions. Keep up the good work!
I totally agree….always looking and observing! :) I think it is a skill to learn. To become good a observing takes time to master. Inspiration makes learning that skill fun.
I love the ciebo print! How can I get one? Please let me know.

I’ve been here before. I think you’ve visited my blog before. It’s all very familiar. I love your whimsical art. And I do agree – an artist’s eyes never rest. Colour, shapes, texture – always drawing me in.
Thanks for following our blog. I hope you enjoy the stories of our journey, both inner and outer.
Happy painting and photographing
Alison
I love your vibrant and energized work – it is also “clean” to me – for whatever that means. :)
and I agree:
“and most of us rejoice that every waking moment is a gift!”
peace!
Hey Lisa! Park and I Would love to see you while you are here. I have the same number. My email is now lindaloub2@dtcweb.net.
Lovely design, very original! I loved it: all artists are a bit crazy, and different :)
One word…spectacular!
Well, yes, I have to agree that artists, including myself, have an abstract view of the world and that often reflects in how we live our life. I paint also but consider myself to be a writer first. If we weren’t a little “crazy” we couldn’t be artists…that creativity comes from a place entirely different from the “norm”.Thanks for visiting and following my blog…love your photos and stories about your travels!
thanks for your comment; i pondered the state i am in while writing vs the one i reach while painting. in painting, i sort of go to sleep, an i am much more intuitive during and after sessions of painting. writing opens a totally-different door, and my mind is engaged in a different task that blocks out those subtle instincts.
you have so much knowledge and experience that you share freely – thank you! lisa/z
Artists are artists, they are ineffable. :)
