Daisy Days painting by Lisa Gibson

  The daisies are back! I love how their cheerful round faces dot the meadows like little lights. Of course, I had to paint some to celebrate…     The Lincoln Arts Festival is less than 2 weeks away and we … Keep reading here…

We’re Almost There…

Family Hum colored pencil and ink painting by Lisa Gibson

We are ALL having spring fever, it seems! On the bright side, when I look at the still endless white out my window, it reminds me of a blank canvas and all the associations with it. A clean slate, endless … Keep reading here…

I Lost It…

Lisa Gibson Posted on December 15, 2016 by Lisa GibsonDecember 15, 2016

Baby Steps!

Lisa Gibson Posted on September 15, 2016 by Lisa GibsonSeptember 15, 2016
