William and his dog - portraiture by Elizabeth Belliveau
a girl by - Elizabeth Belliveau
These incredibly lovely portraits were done by my dear friend Elizabeth. You remember her, the one who photographed me, the one with the amazing eye for capturing beauty. Well, she also has the ability to capture childhood innocence in a portrait. Can you imagine commissioning one of these. I adore them.
She is looking for work and would love to hear from you. Her site will soon be launching. Just consider me a cheering squad. I am just so excited, I can hardly wait. I keep telling her she will have tons of work soon and that she really needs a blog.
What dost thou think? Love for you to applaud and then leave a comment. I will make sure she gets every single one.
Elizabeth is such a talented artist! I believe many good things are in her future. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing, the way she captures light and shadow. Her drawing style really ads a little soul to the drawings.

Elizabeth, you are one verrrry talented gal! I enjoy seeing what your eyes see through the lens and this beautiful art! The innocence and purity is captured so perfectly on paper. You have shown us that art comes in all forms. I look forward to your blog.

ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! She has such a way with the charcoal and white chalk!

ReplyDelete"To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour." I think William Blake's words describe Elizabeth's grace and talent. Speaking of grace, is there none better when women help each other bloom? Best of everything to you both.
ReplyDeleteLovely. These have a sense of nostalgia and romance. Thank you for the introduction.
ReplyDeleteEncouraging great artists to follow their dreams is one of my favorite pastimes!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth has incredible talent, and I always compliment the stunning picture she captured of you and your atelier. Looking forward to another great blog and artist to follow....
Oh My word!! Are those Authentic Provence pots gorgeous!! Can only imagine the prices! Pennoyernewman.com also has lovely pots. We have used some of the small ones for our silk arrangements and have been very pleased with them. They are very nice people to work with.
ReplyDeleteThese are so lovely....

ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I love the combination of loose lines and exact detail. That and the use of light. Truly charming.

ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I have daughters, but I am especially drawn to the little boy with his dog. Very sweet and well done.
