Friday Face OFF. FFO 7/17/26

 

Welcome To Friday Face OFF (FFO)

This is the place to show off your face art.

You know, ANY type of face, nature, the face of a flower, photography, drawings, paintings, AI. There just needs to be a face in your blog post, a link back to my blog and please use the image below. 

Thank you.

 

I hope everyone has had a good week. I have. Even though lupus wants to linger I am about 75% back to my normal self. What a relief.  Thank you very much for all the well wishes. It means everything to me. 

 

For those of you who have been with me for a long time, you may remember that I used to paint quite a bit. Like, everyday. Some portraits. 

This one I actually sold.

 

 

I also painted lots of abstracts

 

 

and a lot of landscapes.

 

 It has been at least 2 years since I have picked up a paint brush. 

A few days ago I thought I would take up Mr. M's. challenge and paint a portrait. I gave myself 2 hours to complete it. OMG!!!!!! What a mess. 😁 

So much so that I an NOT going to show it here. It is true that if you stop using it you lose it. I wrote all of that to say, don't stop creating! I'm kind of stuck, or in love with graphite but that shouldn't stop me from painting, or using colored pencils or whatever other medium I want to play with. That leaves us with the time element in our lives. I saw a wonderful video the other day that said, ditch the phone, turn off the TV, make your art space something where you have no distractions. Turn on some good music,  or what EVER makes you get into the zone for creating. Just create, you will be happier for.

 

Here is what I created for FFO.

 She starts like this. This woman had a forehead that was longer that a mile and a lot of bumps and marks on it. I gave her bangs to calm it down. That's the joy of art, you can change anything. 

 

I did enjoy making her hat or whatever it is called. I used my electric eraser on it. 

 

She ended up like this.

 

Instead of AI today, Mr. M. found these two photos while he was going through a box of old photos.

My Nan, in 2003 at 98 years. She lived to be 104 years. It's the one thing we have in my family, good hair. 

Me in my late 30s. I was an avid bow hunter. This is land connected to my land at the time. Nothing like fresh grouse for dinner.
