Windswept

Sorry for the lame post title, but seriously, it is so windy here I almost got knocked over earlier and am currently watching a huge cedar tree bend and sway a little too much toward my screened-in porch. So, what should I post about on this blustery day? Art, of course. (Sorry no good segues into that). The truth of the matter is a very talented artist named Liza Hathaway Matthews got in touch with me this morning to share her art, and I immediately wanted to share it with you. Just take a look . . .<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhita_jxGJeRM17dNbjeU09eAEBzSRTAkPfzPfibhgezha8-YiDxILDV8YGWWd6Ge5AbcZ2lC62gE_L_O9lxI-YMry6zP7MoGMxzT2D9ZgpCszzi9HV_FKjHn-qvRv0Ivyff_E74aZW44Rm/s1600/IMG_0130.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhita_jxGJeRM17dNbjeU09eAEBzSRTAkPfzPfibhgezha8-YiDxILDV8YGWWd6Ge5AbcZ2lC62gE_L_O9lxI-YMry6zP7MoGMxzT2D9ZgpCszzi9HV_FKjHn-qvRv0Ivyff_E74aZW44Rm/s640/IMG_0130.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> "java"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">24x24</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">oil, acrylic and charcoal </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">$625 </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(currently out on approval)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixPPQohR2n9_8wN8we3433Iru92wWaTzhSSK7kSRec3Wb-UaSZeIWyB3CFfPx6fhl2xfzGF3G9DTLZBpoiHtXsBgdkMLBnZfX1jmwIkZnQunOreutK_HAVlAyBLo6x5Ea2MeyufO1C6LQN/s1600/IMG_0124.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixPPQohR2n9_8wN8we3433Iru92wWaTzhSSK7kSRec3Wb-UaSZeIWyB3CFfPx6fhl2xfzGF3G9DTLZBpoiHtXsBgdkMLBnZfX1jmwIkZnQunOreutK_HAVlAyBLo6x5Ea2MeyufO1C6LQN/s640/IMG_0124.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> "fiesta"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">24 x 36</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">oil, acrylic and charcoal </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">$850 </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKkGoxcCBMSIcSZtgj2n5_NZ0XYyPuO-BlD-rjhw9M_LtKLH4SLBNr2j1bs_YzVZ1STzDpg7ESMCIsLPPQ6CkPbFxktpqgeaPlPKUiL75Ikpcaj29nE8dzUxAproAMjLLoNICz_f26WRcT/s1600/IMG_0080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKkGoxcCBMSIcSZtgj2n5_NZ0XYyPuO-BlD-rjhw9M_LtKLH4SLBNr2j1bs_YzVZ1STzDpg7ESMCIsLPPQ6CkPbFxktpqgeaPlPKUiL75Ikpcaj29nE8dzUxAproAMjLLoNICz_f26WRcT/s640/IMG_0080.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;">"quince"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">24 x 30 <br />oil, acrylic and charcoal<br />$750</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJo0PRjH0EBFHz3o0jr5EKoKUfomPBzcAPB8enxB8m2Ee8I8psQQGv2uyqxwi8reiRHP4g-lZMUjka1srUE0APwZ5Kt9eLQiJff3x1viJFP32fPe2Q_PTvXM7sbJgJAsOoNz4wY-9z-aUc/s1600/IMG00296-20120224-0722.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJo0PRjH0EBFHz3o0jr5EKoKUfomPBzcAPB8enxB8m2Ee8I8psQQGv2uyqxwi8reiRHP4g-lZMUjka1srUE0APwZ5Kt9eLQiJff3x1viJFP32fPe2Q_PTvXM7sbJgJAsOoNz4wY-9z-aUc/s640/IMG00296-20120224-0722.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">"mexico"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">24 x 24 <br />oil, acrylic and charcoal<br />$625</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Aren't the colors beautiful?

You can find more of Liza's paintings at <a href="http://www.orietsfineart.com/matthews.html">Oriet's Fine Art</a>, and she also does commissioned pieces. Just contact her at <a href="mailto:brent.matthews@comcast.net">brent.matthews@comcast.net</a> to inquire. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thanks to Liza for sharing her beautiful pieces. Hope you enjoyed the beautiful art to kick off your weekend! </div>
