Hi Everyone!
I feel like I have been busy but in reality I have been lazy. This staying at home stuff has changed my routine. I was wondering what I could even blog about. I am tired of hearing about the worlds situation and just needed some sort of break. So today I have bread rising in a warm place. Mr. M. wants cookies, I think something light, like lemon cookies. I also decided to paint. I am going to try something different. I have painted faces before, kind of fun, goofy faces. Portraits I have not tried before. I pulled down my folders of graphite portraits and as I found one I liked tossed it to the floor. When I looked down I thought what a great photo. As I inspected the art, that I did over about 4 years, my thought was I drew hair better back then than I do now. LOL Anyway here is the shot I took and the beginning of my portrait. Not sure how long this will take or even what style I will attempt. You all know how much I love abstract. It's a mystery. LOL
Have a great day, be safe, and of course elbow hugs.
These are just a few from my folders
Just getting started. Wish me luck

Oh hi, Nicole. Staying at home has changed everybody's routine, not just yours. You made bread? That's awesome! I saw your (old) drawings/paintings (what's the actual difference?) and I like them all but the creepy long-haired lady is unique and quite scary, she just pops-up. Good luck with the new one! :)
Wishing you luck, Nicole! I bet you can do this, and I can’t wait to see the effort along the way. I’m painting, but never a face. If I have a human in a painting, it is not a detailed face, or even more likely is the human’s head is turned the other way. Lol!
Ohhh that so called scary drawing is part of a series I did for abused kids. I have several others that are quite foretelling. Thanks for stopping by. Yes I bake bread, and it is the old fashion way. No bread machines.
Thanks Barbara. I am just going to take my time on this and hope for the best.
Good luck! Art is always an adventure, isn't it!
With the current situation, everyone's routing has changed, and we are all adjusting as best we can and keeping busy.
Keep enjoying your art.
All the best Jan
Have fun with it Nicole! You have done a lot of beautiful portraits! :) I have my watercolours all packed, I think I'm going to unpack them and try to do something colourful and abstract!
Wow, there are some wonderful drawings. Have fun with your painting. I should be doing some but can't face it today. x
