PAINT PARTY FRIDAY OCT 14

Hi Everyone!

I know I am posting very early for Pant Party Friday, but I am so busy today that it is now or never. LOL  I am taking an online class today on how to draw better portraits. As you know since the last 29 Faces I am hooked on the human face.  Plus I am getting ready for a long over due visit with my children. Yayyyy!!!! Both my son and daughter will be flying in from the East Cost to visit me here on the West Cost.  They are both leaving their families home so it will be just us. I am thrilled to have them home, if only for a few days. They both survived hurricane Mathew and now we are suppose to have our first big storm of the year. No ocean time here. LOL  Those are just a few of the reasons to post early. 
Thank you to Eva and Kristin for hosting the best party of the week. Paint Party Friday.  Wishing everyone a wonderful rest of the week and weekend. Here are two faces for now.

Honor and integrity in art, in life.

Beautiful drawings, Nicole. And how marvelous to get to see your children again. I realize now what a treat it was for my mother when I got to have quality time - just the two of us - even though she dearly loved my dh. I miss that with my own children. Even though I love their mates, I never get them by themselves any more.

Seriously Nicole...I could cry at how far you have come...I could feel myself overwhelmed... You are truly an amazing artist..you caught on so fast to doing stunning, absolutely breathtaking faces... You amaze me girl...truly you do! We are on the second of three storms here too... lights are flickering. Tomorrow is the biggest one too...scary here in B.C. west coast! Enjoy your kids!

Beautiful Nicole! You did a great job with the faces. My first 29 faces is where I started drawing faces and I still do, especially in my sketchbook where I also journal sometimes. Yes the rain is here, we sure need it. I no we live close. Too bad we, well at least me, does not have the beautiful artwork by nature in the leaves of the east coast. I am so glad to hear your family is okay. I am sure you will have a great time with them! Happy PPF. Hugs, Rasz
