The face today is one I worked for a few days, I was so happy with it. Then, I drew hair and ruined it. LOL So you get the close up version.

I don´t think you ruined it - it´s wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh, 104 years. She sure saw and had to see a lot. I hope it was a happy life. Great family photeo.
Hello Nicole! What a nice surprise to see my last weeks summer girl; thank you a lot for featuring!
ReplyDeleteYour today's main face is gorgeous. You have reached her wonderful expression so well. The others are awesome, too. Love them all!
Thank you for shearing the lovely photos of talented Nan, who got a wonderful long life.
Wising you a wonderful weekend ahead xx
Hi Nicole. I love all your faces. But especially the leather ones. You already know that! There is something ancient about them that I like. Something that could be found in old caves :)
ReplyDelete...wow, 104! There's no way that I'll make it that long.
ReplyDeleteYour faces are amazing, Nicole. Your Nan had a long and interesting life, didn't she? We should all do so well.
ReplyDeleteYour face is so expressive! Seeing and reading about your Nan is also quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat face is so good too bad about the hair. Enjoyed the oast work. Lovely to see your nan. -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI love today's face drawing Nicole. You ever got the folds and wrinkles around her lips. Wow. And Nice to see your Nan. I still miss mine. And you have some great art with faces too. The leather ones really amaze me since I've never worked with leather and still can't believe you can do that kind of molding with it. But obviously you can. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteYour drawing is amazing, Nicole, hair or no hair, I’m sure. The time it takes for you to draw an image is noteworthy and speaks of your talent. Congratulations on being part of four living generations! The years fly by much too quickly. A beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteThank gawd for cropping, eh? Hahahahaha! Great face though, you're right!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Sirkkis.
ReplyDeleteLuv the first face Nicole.
Thank you for linking to Art For Fun Friday.
Much💚love
That face draws me in! I wish you had also posted a picture with the hair, because I wonder whether the "ruin" thought comes from your inner critic. Your "migraine art" also speaks to me, it is a fabulous piece of art. All your faces are amazing - those ten minutes sketches! Your nan! How wonderful to have known her for so many years - 104 years, that is impressive. I imagine that she had a lot of stories. It seems you got her artist gene.
ReplyDeleteI love that top face! That expression lol You really caught the mood.
ReplyDeleteMy faces would only be screenshots of actors' faces lol and no art in any medium, but I do enjoy seeing yours :)
Cropping is your friend. I actually LOVE the expression on that lady's face. Great other faces, too, Nicole. Sorry I have nothing to contribute this week. I am trying to play catch up and still having a hard time doing so.
ReplyDeleteI like your faces today
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteWonderful art work. Thank you for introducing us to your Nan! She sounds like a very accomplished and talented woman. I hope some day you’ll share some of her art as well a her photos.
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Love your first sketch, great expression
ReplyDelete2nd Try!! So nice to read about your Nan, Sis! 104 years old, amazing! And you btw, your 10 minute warmups are beautiful!! I love your lady with a squishy mouth! You do the shading so well! I think my favourite of your art pieces is the "clay on canvas with glass eyes" - very neat!!! I hope your health is better! ♥ My foot is better as long as I wear the good shoes!! ☺
ReplyDeleteThat face is fabulous! Beautiful work. And how lucky you were to have your mom for so many years. (Mine died when I was 25. She was 58.)
ReplyDeleteLovely portrait sketch ~ very expressive ~
