Donna is done

She is finished! I guess like with everything, I could keep going and going, but I think that I will just give her the last coat of varnish. 11 x 15 acrylics and ink on watercolor paper.


For this afternoon, my plan is to work on something with lots of texture. Let's see how that goes!

Of course! That's why it took me so long, I was too busy wiggling and shaking :oS lol

I have watched this progression & she is fantastic Martha, those bright colours really are a celebration of her music & life - the skin tones are perfect & I can almost sense a mirror ball just out of picture! I promise I will post some faces soon, I am tardier at posting than I am at completing the faces & that's saying something!! Thank goodness Memphis is whipping me into action ;)

Definately worth the effort Martha, your portrait of Donna is a wonderful tribute to her memory. I will look forward to seeing all the Donnas together.
