Paint Party Friday 3/23

Hi Everyone!

Another week and it's party time with Eva, Kristen and all the artists from around the world.  I am busier than ever with my leather work. I have 5 projects in the works. Each one has to be cut, wet, shaped, dried and then decorated. I am so happy with how they are turning out. 
Thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting Paint Party Friday
Now for some art. I only have two pieces this week.
I am happy with this one, with that said I do see some things I need to tweak. At least I got it finished enough for PPF.




Here is a leather piece that is almost finished. I am waiting for some beads to finish the decorating.
This stands 2 feet tall.


That's it for now. I look forward to seeing all of your art this week.

Your portrait sketches just keep getting better and better. This is an amazing one for sure. Look forward to seeing this leatherwork with beads. The color is lovely and very hard to realize that it is leather. Happy PPF

Did you have your show yet? I love the way you captured the wrinkle and bags under his eyes, I have such a hard time with those.

You know I think this is an amazing drawing and might be your best ever. The leather piece is interesting. I like it so much more than most you do, probably the warpaint!
