Lisa painting at the Art in Bloom Festival in Black Mountain NC.
In these one of a kind oil and watercolor paintings, award winning artist Lisa Blackshear offers a personal interpretation of coastal Florida and the Appalachian Mountains. Using bright, impressionist colors and a willingness to let technique guide her journey, Lisa hopes to bring the viewer with her into an exploration of the lyric, poetic, and mystical inspiration of landscape.
