There's a painting there - it's just blending in! This is a plein air illusion of "Goose Island" on Western NY's historic Erie Canal. The geese have more or less claimed that little island, and I do think it's adorable, even though it can be challenging to paint in geese territory. The original painting is available at lisacornwellart.com. This is one of my all-time favorite paintings because of the soothing colors, the glowy reflections on the water, and the amusing experience painting among the geese. I'm Lisa Cornwell - thank you for being here and your support. Thrilled to share this color journey with you. 💗🦢 #geeseseason #eriecanal #pleinairillusion #colormatchqueen #pleinairpainting #paintingprocess #canadiangeese #artistlife #oilpaintcoach #paintingsecrets #oilpaintingart #oilpainting #colormatch #fineartcollecting #pleinaircollectors #natureart #nyart #fineartist #buffalony #buffalonyartist #lisacornwell #lisacornwellart

Process lapse for the Goose Island plein air illusion! 🦢☺️ It's pretty soothing to watch, in contrast to the process, which involved holding my own against the geese. The original artwork is on my site - a truly one of a kind piece for your fine art collection. Thanks for being part of this journey. Take care. 💗 Lisa Cornwell, Color Match Queen #geeseseason #eriecanal #ellicottcreek #pleinairillusion #colormatchqueen #pleinairpainting #paintingprocess #canadiangeese #artistlife #oilpaintcoach #paintingsecrets #oilpaintingart #oilpainting #colormatch #fineartcollecting #pleinaircollectors #natureart #nyart #fineartist #buffalony #buffalonyartist #lisacornwell #lisacornwellart

The Canadian geese encircled me like pride of lions hunting! The original oil painting is for sale on my site. Add this beauty to your fine art collection today for a truly unique depiction of the historic Erie Canal.  Note: This video was filmed ahead of time in early February to avoid disturbing their April/May nesting season. However, they were still cranky. Although I’ve seen this group of geese knock people off bicycles, I chose to stand my ground; I find they calm down if you ask them to calmly and with some authority.  Thank you for your support, and take care! 💗 Lisa Cornwell, Color Match Queen #geeseseason #eriecanal #ellicottcreek #pleinairillusion #colormatchqueen #pleinairpainting #paintingprocess #canadiangeese #artistlife #oilpaintcoach #paintingsecrets #oilpaintingart #oilpainters #oilpainting #colormatch #colormatcher #colormatchingpaint #nyartist #nyart #fineartist #buffalony #buffalonyartist #lisacornwell #lisacornwellart #colormatchingwithlisa #lisacornwellartpaintingsecrets

Wishing you and yours a very special EasterWishing you and yours a very special Easter from Brandon and I. And if you don't celebrate, we still wish you an amazing day. For me, I usually put the paintbrushes away during holidays so I can take extra time to reflect, unwind, be present in the moment, and enjoy quality time. I also enjoy cooking something special on holidays, so we've got a gorgeous tres leches cake with a mixed berry syrup topping for dessert tonight. 🍨 Would love to hear how you're spending the day. Thank you, as always, for your support this 2024. It's been a fun year, and we have a lot of special color matches lined up for you. Take care. 💗 Lisa Cornwell, Color Match Queen #colormatchqueen #happyeaster #sendinglove #frommyfamilytoyours #oilpaintcoach #paintingsecrets #oilpaintingart #oilpaints #oilpainters #oilpainting #colormatch #colormatches #colormatcher #colormatchingpaint #nyartist #nyart #finearts #fineart #fineartists #buffalony #buffalolove #lisacornwell #lisacornwellart #colormatchingwithlisa #lisacornwellartpaintingsecrets

Color match or glitch in the Matrix? ✨️ Welcome to Part 2 of the Cattaragus Creek color match in Gowanda! The sun was shifting quickly, as it's prone to in spring, which makes the plein air painting process fast-paced and fun. It reminds me of playing speed chess, in a way, which is my favorite kind of chess. ♟️ Add the original painting to your fine art collection today - a really rare piece for its detailed match of the creek's color and also because of the videos chronicling the process. 🖼 I want to humbly thank you for your encouragement and support. You help this journey continue and soar to new heights. Thank you for your warmth, encouragement, and mutual appreciation for nature and the creative arts!
