Mini Journal Watercolor Sketch

Rough times trying to work out the kinks in the new revised
Turbo Tax. I didn't have much time for painting this week so
here is a sketch I did in my mini journal. Ignore the strange hairdo.
I don't know why it turned out like that but we all have bad hair days.
This is another entry for Paint Party Friday.

    Tax time...never a fun time unless you really have a terrible life and this is a happy time for you :)

    I think that your lady sketch is very attractive. Her hair style doesn't look bad to me.

    I've never heard of turbo tax but it certainly sounds scary!! She has such a delicate face in your watercolour sketch. I hear you on the bad hair days - I'm growing mine from a pixie crop and every day is a bad hair day at the moment!

    I know about bad hair days, because I've had them before. However, I don't think your portrait has one, it just looks like a shag haircut. Blessings!

    Very nice! I did notice the hair right away and thought she was a bit outdated...but some people do stay in a time warp. We have to embrace the process and what the spirit sends us....Sometimes it's characters with bad hair....still a great painting though! She is a strict woman and the hair is fitting. She is too stubborn to change... Love it!

    Good job!!

    Hugs Giggles
