Paint Party Friday


I finished up my mixed media girl in Jo's Saturday art class.
Connie has been teaching us to draw faces. None of our
faces look alike, though, but the method is the same.



I decided my girl with the attitude needed a darker background
so here she is again for you to see.



Yes, another one of these flowers. I did 3 bookmarks
with these flowers on them to give to my 
cleaning crew tomorrow. They seem to enjoy 
looking at my art as they clean.



A quick watercolor to show friend Laura
how to make the trunk of the tree stand
out with a dark background.



A vase of cut flowers was sent to me by my
new and wonderful next door neighbors
on dh's departure anniversary.


Visit Paint Party Friday.

    Such a joy to see your paintings! A lovely background to a lovely girl on the first piece. And so nice the tree and trunk came out in front of the darker baclground. Your flowers are beautiful. I'm trying to learn how to paint flowers..

    Great work on the faces, Faye, I like the patchwork-like background on the first.
    You always paint the gentlest, prettiest flowers.
