My paintings … The Orange Field ….can be found at the Mac Gallery … Doncaster
at Cusworth Hall Museum …. Cusworth Doncaster …..Streaming Happiness Vows … this series of paintings about fusion and spiritual love for happiness is on display at the hall.
I have been challenged to help a local publisher and editor, challenge herself to produce a painting which she thought she was not capable of… I proved her wrong… I hope you will share in my Artiztime studio… go find me on Face book…
My challenge at the moment is to paint a portrait of a couple who asked me to take a photo of them in St Marks square in Venice …last August.. I am in the process of painting that moment for them ..the moment is special to them… as the man asked the lady to marry him… she and I were very surprised..she said yes… and now I am to paint that moment for them … to be passed down as an air loom for ever… I hope they like it when its finished…. 
The Orange Field
There is a spider in an old house beyond an orange field
a girl who comes to visit him
..... wonders through the lanes at dusk
picking oranges underneath a harvest yield
Inside the old house is a light source...through a chink finding little light
Over head a sunset a colour hue
Walls can tell stories
Memories musing to ignite
A story of a strong light, one that once she viewed
Years pass….a nanny now
boy’s, hit parade a school
Playing, these children
a life line ...happy smiles
Laughing pink blossom linked in togetherness miles
Stood with many strangers
ones deaf, some very blind
wasted care and time with them
lessons for hours; life claim
Years acting, leaving lonely, strong held wings to find
a trend repeated bad timing, heart heavy, but one, could make it climb
Far away beyond this field, is a void
… Tried, but cannot reach
Coming, again and again a voice that calls
a connection incomplete
Wishes; light to enter
To be within again
White feathers float down; warm spirits
holding beliefs looking after heartfelt strain
Sat in the chink of a window
a spider catches light
weaving his catcher web; innocent stranger eaten; stay alive
Watching self- living
tricking those who fall
Describes past land harboured
....lessons learnt, streams ..good-for-nothing souls
This girl who comes to visit
Suffered; learnt this
a double Wind character
Is an inner strength, passion painterly descriptive gift
Spreading orange warmth
Red haired light in an orange field
Helping, it understands
life is connected to timing .... Time destiny deals
Poem ….. Lizzie Marshall…2013

Streaming Happiness Vows
Happiness a pillow where you lay your head now
You are yearning to sleep
But gazing won’t let your eyes gather
Will there be an hour….a name
For this a time of day….to go towards the morning
Which appears beyond the trees?
A vanishing point a line a new horizon
Let the unconsciousness come
Allow awakening for your time
Waiting to speak of marriage
Pausing to view the pinks
To attach two hearts with wedding rings
You long to hear your name
For this unison
When your lust for colour is so bright
You see painted new hope, with colours of light
Aching you yearn for these eternity days
These colours to link
To walk
To run
To hold
Remaining when spirits float
Flying attached by the wind
Toward your eye in a sunset sun
A sure colourful light to unfold in outer new space
When you lie awake staring through the air
Shall you muse at each vision to arise into form?
An exquisite heaven
Pink and orange born
Rainbow colours that escape
Where angels form and fly with wings
You hope to view where magenta sings
Connected days will paint your future dawn
At Cusworth you can declare this voice
Streaming colour
Vows can be made for happiness choice
Lizzie Marshall …. Painter/Teacher/Poet
