I feel very bad, that again this week, I don't have any art. I did start a piece but I will save it for next week.

So far May has been quite busy for me. Doctors for me and Mr. M. of course. All is well with that. Thank goodness. I've been creating art and cleaning house. The days here have been overcast but nice. I guess I can't complain. :)
As you know I've been taken in by drawing birds. This is one I finished.
I also got this one done.
I have several other pieces sketched out and hope to at least one of them done in the next week or so.

This last month has been hell with lupus and especially the last 2 weeks.
I'm much better now.
So I really haven't been able to draw.
I've had a few people comment and email me asking about what is lupus. Most of you know that May is lupus awareness month and I will be posting most days for that. For now, Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease where antibodies attack healthy tissues and organs causing widespread inflammation and damage to the body. lupus can attack anything and everything from skin, joints, muscles, kidneys, heart, lungs, brain, thyroid, digestive system, eyes, and other organs.
This last few weeks lupus decided that it would attack my large intestines with OMG pain that moved into my kidney.
As I wrote, I'm much better.
I did sit down today and got this created.
This is the first photo taken
I do draw other things besides faces. 😁
Here is the finished piece.
My niece got married last week and her new husband took her to Italy for their honeymoon. I only have 2 photos so far. They are going to, something like, 10 cities.
This first place is their room. Can't remember where it is, but this is a palace that was turned into a B&B.
She looks very tired here. Jet lag.
Here they are in Florence.
They will be visiting Naples where our family is from and visiting Punta Campanella. Obviously our last name.
It's a marine protected area. I know they will have so much fun there.
Now it's time for some AI.
These look pretty good. I might attempt to draw one or two of these.
It's feature time. I have to say, that I am very impressed with all of the artists who join in. Thank you.

Don't forget to join in for Sunday in the Art Room, "SITAR" Anything art. Please don't forget to link back to my blog. Thanks
As you know I have been creating art more than usual. All I want to do is create. Wearing glare free glasses has helped with doing this. I started wearing them for the retina thing and I think I will continue to wear them. They soothe the eyes. Do you wear any kind of glare free glasses?
Yes, these are yellow tint but they work for me.
I have quite a few drawings completed and this week I'm showing a very strange colored pencil piece.
I guess I don't have any beginning photos.
I get to this point.
and the next thing I know I have it finished.
I had to soften his face a bit. Shrink the jaw, adjust his eyes.
OK, it's getting close, January 30th is the FFO day to show your challenge portraits.
The new challenge is to create a portrait of anyone you want. It can be your
family, friends, actors, faces you find on the internet, or a perfect
stranger that will allow you a photo to work from and to show with your
portrait. You can work in any medium, except photography, meaning you can't just show a photo of a face. For this challenge you must create a face.
This challenge is optional, I still want to see all of your faces.
That's it for me. Now it's time to show me your face.

The second,
Starting this Sunday I'm changing Sunday in the Art Room. It will be open to anyone who wants to just talk and create art. To start it off I did suggest showing off your art space. Click here for more details.
Now for my art this week.
I thoroughly enjoyed creating this piece.
These are the images I used, changing the colored photo to black n white.
She starts like this.
Then this. I did change her hair a bit.
The start of her freckles.
Working on the face.
Blending the freckles into her skin and making her teeth smaller. Like in the photo.
Then I decided to color her blouse. I really like this effect.
I'm happy with the likeness.
Here are some new AI I've created. If you would like to give AI a try then check out NightCafe
No monsters today. More surreal and fantasy.
It's time for some features.
Mia, she is very generous with her AI pieces. They are lovely too.
Roentare Melbourne Street Photography. Great photos every time.
Michelle It's a Small Town Life. Always interesting post and beautiful photos.
Thank you all for sharing your magnificent art with FFO.
That's it for me. Now it's time to show me your face.
