Twenty One Days of Painting Faces for One Hundred Days

Breath .. just breath. So far so good. Today i'm stressed out...not because it's day 21 of posting a new face. It's because I haven't gotten real people models for my painting .. and .. I'm in a hurry again. I can attest to the fact that painting in a hurry is NO FUN! So .....it's a work in progress how to go about this daily schedule of painting. Maybe it shows up in the work I don't know .........always i'm hardest on myself.

I do finally get to a point where I just say .....enough!

With these wrapping paper faces I always want some elements of the paper to show through .. I'm not sure that the orange in her lips shows up anymore but I did manage to keep the eyebrows their lovely green and she has a bow on her cheek .. I like these things. I think the best part about this process is that the more I paint the more ideas pop into my head about series of work or other things to paint. This is always brewing in the back ground of my mind.

So ......I guess like life there are ebbs and flows of feeling good and feeling other stuff .. today I have a head ache. But one silver lining .. i'm going to lunch with my sister .. so I'm going to take a chill pill and relax. I'll take my camera with me!!! Tomorrow I will be back here .. happily painting. Thanks for following along ..

This ia about 8"x 10" on sewn wrapping paper and painted with acrylic. Today's painting is $21. Please email me at iwilldream4ever@aol.com if you would like to own this face today. Thank you!
