29 Faces # 8


This is #8 in the 29 Faces Challenge. It started as
a watercolor. I then applied one of the filters from
the Photoshop Elements to give her this speckled
look. For other entries see this site HERE.

I am also entering this in Paint Party Friday.

29 Faces # 6 and #7


Back to ordinary pretty faces. This one was sketched in pencil, painted in watercolors, and finished with black pen. This is #6 for the 29 Faces Challenge. See all the entries HERE.


Here is a goofy looking phone doodle. Usually they are pretty; occasionally they are cartoonish.
This is #7 for the 29 Faces Challenge.

29 Faces #5


Giggles said if something doesn't work out, disregard that and move on to something that does work. Doing a collage with a sun face didn't work for me, so I am moving on to a sketch I did this morning. This will be my face #5 for the 29 Faces challenge. Looking down is a new view for me to  try to capture. I can't tell if she is reading or is angry at someone. Check out 29 Faces HERE.

29 Faces #4


Still on the challenge to try something a bit different, this is a collage made from a travel cruise brochure that included parts of Europe and Asia. I used Modge Podge to stick down the pieces I wanted and some Gesso to make me a white spot in the middle. I wanted a sunny look so I added Ms Sun in acrylics paint. I did her features in Sharpie. I added a origami kimono I made to add a little more Asia. This is for the 29 Faces Challenges. Click HERE to see all the entries.

29 Faces #3 - The Steelhead Fisherman


I'm out of my element completely here, but I am determined to keep
trying new things. This is a fisherMAN holding his steelhead. This is
no one in particular, but I used a photo taken of a family friend on vacation 
in the western part of New York state as my jumping off place. This is my
third face for the 29 Faces Challenge for February 2014. To see all the entries
be sure to check out this challenge blog HERE.

29 Faces #1


It 's so much fun to create young and beautiful portraits, but I was thinking. There are quite a few of us who aren't in that category any longer. So I decided to try a more mature face for my Face #1 in 29 Faces Challenge. The sketch was a doodle I did while waiting my turn at the Department of Motor Vehicles. I came home and colored it in Photoshop. Click here to see all of the entries in this challenge.
