Hi Everyone!
This week has been hectic with a good amount of stress. Trying to keep everything under control and meditating. So not much art has been created with the exception of quick-draw faces. I do however have a piece I finished a few weeks ago. I had posted it in Dec. as a WIP and well I guess it is finished.
So for Paint Party Friday a big thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting .
Here is the WIP. I didn't realize how dark the photo is.
Here is the finished piece, or at least so far.

Honor and integrity

The WIP is beautiful, love the soft colours. Happy PPF, Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI think the WIP is quite beautiful and atmospheric
ReplyDeleteMagical post.
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF xx
Super work. Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteVery cool painting! I like that the scenery has depth and a sense of mystery -- hope you have a relaxing and inspiring weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow that is a great face with so much expression; love the furrowed brow:)
ReplyDeleteFor the WIP I thought how alone this single figure in the fog was. Now it is much better with some company. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it strange how a piece transfers during the making. In the WIP I see a pond and mountains in the background, the "finished" piece shows something completely different. It's always interesting to see such changes, I think. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI like the soft colors too.
ReplyDelete29 faces is hard work, I've done 15 so far...
Wonderful work. Really like the first one. There is a hint of mystery about it.
ReplyDeletethis is a very intriguing piece with the dead trees and the shadowy figures - makes the viewer curious as to where they are and what is happening.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, and even though it is a bit dark, it is not spooky or a bad dark. I love the feeling in energy in your piece. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat WIP touched me, I see a destroyed village, a lost home, trees still burning. Sorrow, pain. Well, that's my interpretation... ;)
ReplyDeleteYour sketch shows a handsome man.
beautiful work .love the face .happy PPF X
ReplyDeleteI like both of your works. Have a nice and peaceful weekend :).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful WIP. Has a timelessness like the figures and at Stone Henge. Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteLove the mysteriousness of your first piece Nicole. Looks like you were channeling your stress in your face drawing. Hope it all goes away and you have a fab weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour WIP has a dreamy quality. Hope all improves for you soon. All is well with me--just not on the computer as much as usual.
ReplyDeleteThe WIP is evocative, lovely...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work and nice face!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece.:0
ReplyDeleteNicole, this is magical. I actually do like the darker version although I realize it's just a photo thing.
ReplyDeleteyour painting is wonderful
ReplyDeletefor me there is a feeling of mystery to it
makes me look and look
Your first image is very mysterious--a bit spooky and lovely at the same time. Something about it reminds me of Ireland. Have a wonderful week! xo
ReplyDeleteLooks like something out of a dream, a kind of separate universe.... Very intriguing. Very expressive face too!
ReplyDeleteA sombre post and and interesting face Nicole!
ReplyDeleteI meant a sombre painting.
ReplyDeleteSending love and light to you...sounds like you may need it!! Clicking on the painting is a wonderful way to see the pretty details... I can't help but feel there is a story there!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
Such a mood that first piece gives us! And the face is very well done too! I hope your stressor dissipate and you have a better week.
ReplyDeleteSoft and dreamy :) Happy PPF!!
ReplyDeleteThe painting has a wonderful ambiance. Congratulations on keeping up with the challenge, you are doing great, it's a challenging challenge...
ReplyDeleteI like your mysterious WIP. Are they lost, exploring. It is fun to suppose!
ReplyDeleteVery dreamy and makes you wonder what they are doing there.
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF
Vicki-Ann :)
Even with a hectic week you have some great art to share. HPPF!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the painting with the 3 silhouettes. For some reason, I imagine it's a parent having a loving conversation with his/her children during a walk in the forest. Blessings, my friend!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your stress, hope the meditating helps! The painting is lovely, but a little spooky! Wonderful depth and atmosphere to it.
ReplyDeleteLove the WIP or finished piece ♥ The face is great too . I think it must have been universal week of stress from what I've been hearing :( Have a great weekend ♥
ReplyDeleteLove your art piece and your face. Hope the stress eases for you soon. Thanks so much for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteYour painting is so atmospheric, it looks like early morning light.
ReplyDeleteThe WIP looks like a scifi setting, very nice, oh and that ace is way too serious
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend; im so happy you dropped by my blog
much love...
Hope you are ok my friend! Your painting is very touching! Your face wants to talk! Love the expression! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYour piece is a bit haunting. It leaves me wondering what are the three up to.
ReplyDeleteGood sketch so far.
Your WIP is beautiful. I love paintings that tell some sort of a story. That is not a strength of mine. Love it!! And the face is quite expressive! I hope your next week will have much less stress!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love " honour & integrity " in Art .....( and life). Honest expression is what you have been showing, I love your completed piece very much! xoDebi
ReplyDeleteI love the first paintings of the trunks. I have an area similar to that outside town. I use to take photos of it when it is misty. Gives a nice atmosphere
ReplyDeleteBoth the wip and the finished piece look great, so atmospheric and mystical.
