Wise words….
“The more that you read, the more things you know… The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go…”
Dr Seuss
Words chosen by Karen Horsfield and the Resources for Learning staff, interpreted by Busylizzie Art as a countryside scene, where a young headgehog, under the watchful eye of two wiser friends is looking intently at a book, whilst another is travelling further on his journey along life’s pathway….
It all began after The Library transformation at Hamp Academy, also in Bridgwater, where the walls came alive with books and book characters…
…having produced a case study for the Library Services website, I offered to paint in the lobby for free!
Tha quotation was chosen and I set to work creating a ‘timeless’ scene that might appeal to the varied users of this amazing service…
As space was limited, the area needed framing in some way and this was done with the trees and branches, but allowing the books in the foreground to just break out of the frame…
The whole painting took approximately 6 hours painting time and would normally cost around £200 including the design…
I paint anything and anywhere – so if you have a space you would like enhancing – contact me, Liz via this website, and we can discuss your ideas!
Work in progress….
Busylizzie Art is currently working on the designs for a divers groups of projects….
1. Somerset County Councils’s School Library Services, R4L in Bridgwater, is about to have an original Busylizzie large(ish) scale wall painting in the entrance lobby, which will include a Dr Seuss quotation….. Liz will be painting on Wednesday and look out for photo diary updates here!
2. Stand Against Violence Charity CEO Adam Fouracre and Busylizzie Art are at present in collaboration on some illustrations to portray Lloyd’s life story eventually in book form. In the first instance, the illustrations will be used to aid the presention of this true story and to complement the anti-violence workshop work at Primary School level…. Time is being spent trawling through family photos in an attempt to be faithful to this tragic real-life story, but also finding the elements which will ring true with those who later reflect on its powerful effect in changing young lives….
3. Wedding invitations and stationery themed on Harry Potter and the Maurauder’s map, but telling a real-life story of love over adversity, is another project bubbling under the surface that Busylizzie Art is raring to get going on – it’s going to be exciting creating the interpretation of a story in intricately detailed artwork…. Footprints, a lizard, entwined rings…..
Once the work commences in earnest, it will be documented in pictures for you to see – please revisit to see the progress in each area…
Did you know that Busylizzie Art also produces hand-made wedding stationery crafted from original watercolour paintings???
Liz of Busylizzie Art will meet with you to discuss your ideas and then produce paintings especially for you to choose from to create your totally individual range of wedding invitations, save the date cards, name cards, seating plan, favour bags etc…

Finishing touches added to complete the playroom…
Daisies, a ladybird and a caterpillar have been added to the left of the recessed bookcase, along with the names of the children arching over.. 
The children can be encouraged to find and count the ladybirds climbing stems and leaves, seek out the caterpillars exploring their ‘natural’ environment and the ‘buzzing’ bees, investigating the flowers.
The letters of the alphabet hang off the branches in alphabetical order, with the vowels picked out in primary red…encouraging young children with letter & sound recognition…
One echinacea, two sunflowers and three daisies….Two hedgehogs, three bees, four caterpillars – endless possibilities for conversation and exploration!!!!
Any space can be enhanced in a similar style, though every design will be unique and created specially… Contact Liz, of Busylizzie Art to arrange an initial meeting.
