Friday Face OFF 9/9/22

 Greetings!

Tomorrow is finally the big day for my art show. I have lots of people showing up, friends I haven't seen since covid. 

It will be a party. 

Please wish my luck 

 and send selling energy to me. 

I am also finished with my abstract painting. I really did have a hard time with the eyes. Still not 100% happy with them but it is what it is.

First though here is my graphite for the week.

I like this guy. I have to keep telling myself that faces are not symetrical on both sides. Hey, my left eye drops due to a lupus episode some 30 years ago. So I like this guys crooked nose and off set eyes.

Now for the abstract face. My camera just won't get a true photo of the colors. The face is very dark in shadow on on right.

The mouth is driving me crazy	But not as much as the eyes.
Mouth is better and my camera switched up the colors. I have not changed them.	Fixing the eyes

 

This photo is taken outside. The colors are highlighted from my camera. I so wish I could get a true photo because in real life I am very happy with the colors.  Maybe Tom can give me some pointers.

 

This weeks featured artist is;

Valerie-Jael from Bastelmania

Sunday taking time for me.

Hi Everyone!

I am feeling pretty good today. My body, mind and spirit. It feels safe today for some reason. I worked in the garden this morning, vacuumed the throw rugs and cleaned up a bit. Now, the rest of the day is for me. I don't have anything planned and art seems to work better for me that way. I finished this just 5 minutes ago. Different style for me. It is more like my Grand mother's style. I guess that happened because I have been restoring some of her art. Wish I would have learned more from her. Haa hindsight. 

This is a small canvas 12x9", acrylic paints.

 

Hope all of you are having a great day.

Good Monday Morning

Hi Everyone!

Good Monday Morning. I mentioned that the new blogger isn't that difficult to use, however, that doesn't mean I like it. I do have a problem trying to edit and republish. Also there seems to be a lot of steps to achieve certain things. I guess we will all get use to it.

As most of you know to leave a comment on my blog you have to have a blog of some sort. I had to remove anonymous some time ago. Well some asswipe has signed up for a blog but doesn't have a profile or a blog. Just signed up for one and is leaving comments. They are definitely a virus or something really icky. It is the same comment with 2 sentences blocked out. So you know if you publish it there will be something bad. Blogger has no way to report this. I am sure it's some sort of bot, because it comes in different blogger names. Of course I won't publish it but it is very annoying. Is any one else getting this?

That is my gripe for the day. LOL

Last night Mr. M and I were waiting for a movie to start. I had about 20 minutes so I painted this.

Not a masterpiece but I like doing short timed art. Some of my best drawings were done in 20 minutes or less. So here it is.

I hope all of you have a truly wonderful Monday.

PPF one eye sight

Hi Everyone!

First off, as soon as my eye returns to normal I will be around to leave comments  for the weeks I have missed. I am only suppose to be on the PC a few minutes at a time and only twice a day.  I have a patch on my eye while typing this.  I did draw and paint this week, again with one eye. Very difficult and sooooo strange.  

Here is my drawing this week. This is a model from a magazine. I don't know her name.

 And here is my painting. 16x20" gallery canvas, acrylic paints

I am linking to Paint Party Friday. Thanks Eva and Kristen for hosting the party.
