Art for Nursing Home

Not much art this week. I did color in an adult coloring book
and put glitter glue generously on to the pieces I cut out to use
for making greetings cards with the nursing home residents.

Here is a card from one of the above.


The one thing I painted at home was this portrait.
And the watercolor is from the Monday's class. I do not
like to paint structures so this class was not fun for me.

And finally a doodle I did while watching TV.

The cover photo is of me and my sisters when we had
brown hair (not sure if it was natural!).
I'm joining my friends at Paint Party Friday for
another great art get-together.

  12. Do you work at the nursing home? The cards are a great idea. Using the coloring pages to make them is very clever. I may try that. Which gal is you? I'm guessing it's you on the left? God bless!

  21. When I saw your greeting card cut outs I thought how luck the residents are that you join them. It seems like you created a lot this week. I particularly enjoyed your portrait, with the building coming up second (even tho you don't enjoy doing it). Have a lovely week, Faye!

  22. Wow, Faye! It looks like you did quite a lot this week! I love the new header pic with you and your sisters. :)

    Even though you don't enjoy structures, your watercolor turned out FABULOUS. I really like it. Your other projects are lovely too. I bet the nursing home residents loved the cards. A beautiful way to brighten their days. :) Awesome self portrait and doodle too. Happy PPF!

  23. What an eclectic artist you are! I like your watercolor--I also don't like drawing buildings...they just don't appeal to me.

    Your glitter work project is darling, too. :D

  27. I am really late this week. But I wanted to stop by and I must say I love the new blog header. Young ladies haven't changed all that much even if the styles of clothes change. I think you had a productive art week. I like it all, and hard to pick a favorite for sure. Hope you're having a great week. Hugs-Erika
