"Love You Like a Sister" Lylas CourtneyThis whimsical figure is one in a series I've called "Lylas". I don't have a sister but share a close association with 7 members of Canvas by Canvas and I refer to them as "my sisters" and we often sign our emails with "lylas". One in the group suggested I name the paintings from the group so my list is expanding to family and other friends. This one is named for a family member.
I've painted 4 in a new series for the miniature section (under 14 in.) for the "Preservation is the Art of the City" show September 11-26, 2009 at the Community Arts Center, Fort Worth, TX, free and open to the public. Fifty local artists were juried to exhibit in this show and have the choice to exhibit one or up to 9 paintings each. A portion of the sales will help fund preservation programming for Historic Fort Worth. I hope you can visit the show.

Hi!!
I'm a art student in Portugal
and I love your blog and the energy so present in your draws!
visit my blog,all the draws there are mine :)
So beautiful
Thank you for the visit Sierana and the kind words.
Two beautiful LYLAS lady paintings for the Preservation Show. Love the colours, the simplicity of composition yet variety of shapes within the figure. Wish I could paint as loose and free.
Would you explain the meaning of the word LYLAS that came from your group... or am I being dim??
Hello Joan, LYLAS is internet slang for Love You Like A Sister...and sometimes we will sign our emails with that term.
