An Inspiring Artist ~ Meet Lara Harris

Hi, One of my New Years Resolutions was to bring Art into my life. Either by my hand, or by all the talented gals out there.

I have several favorite artists, I'm speaking of Local or "currently living among us"artists. And
I am in Awe of their creative talents. They inspire me in one way or another. In an attempted search for my own creative talent , whatever that will be. Haven't found it yet 'D. I look to them as inspiration in my attempts at finding my own voice in this Creative Life.

Here is one of my Newest Favs, Her name is Lara Harris, and coincidentally, she is from the wonderful state of Michigan. Wait til you see her portraits, they have a vintage flair to them, realistic with a whimsical charm. I just adore her style! Vignettes of all things pretty; from chairs, to portraits of women, oh, and I can't forget her dog portraits. She captures each different dog breed with as much realism as a photograph, Wow! ( I need to erase my pics of my own dogs portraits I posted awhile back on my blog...'D, How embarrassing:))

Check out her blogs links out for yourself. Wait til you see them! Lara sells on Etsy, and does private commissions as well.



You can find Lara featured in the Flea Market Style blog, which should be on newsstands now. I have not found it yet here in Michigan, but, It should be available soon. You can read about her there, or you can follow her blog through this link:
She is so friendly and came right over to say Hi when I dropped by to say I found her lovely artwork. Stop by and take a look for yourself, who know, maybe she will inspire your creative side too!

Hope you have found your Creative side or find inspiration by one of the wonderful gifted Artists amoung us in blogland.

Have A Sunshiny Creative Kind of Day!
Christine
