Who hasn't danced or hummed at one of her songs, even if they were only babies when she was the disco queen?
Well, today I invited anyone from the 29 faces challenge in FB to make an interpretation of her face. I invite everyone that would like to draw or paint her portrait. I am basing my sketch in a couple of photographs found online (couldn't see who is the author).
*If you are making a Donna Summer portrait let me know! I want to make a slideshow when we are all done
This is a sketch and I will be working on it for a few days, posting the WIPs pictures:
And I will leave you with music to dance:
How could you not dance when you hear Donna Summer... it is a loss and I think this is a lovely tribute and the slideshow is a great idea...xx
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to do an art tribute and love your WIP. Happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely tribute. She was the disco queen and I did enjoy her music.

ReplyDeleteso cool and great idea
ReplyDeleteWonderful drawing, so much character in it. What a great idea to make a portrait slideshow! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteMartha I boogied & jiggled to Donna back in my day (maybe slightly before my day LOL) & love your tribute! I have been watching your posts, your faces drawn & blogged... with envy LOL, really they are great & your commitment is inspiring, hope to catch up soon :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful sketch ~ wonderful tribute ~ hugs to you ~thanks, namaste, ^_^
ReplyDeleteLove your sketch, Donna Summer will be sadly missed and an art tribute is such a lovely idea. I read this post earlier and was so inspired that I went off and painted my contribution!
ReplyDeleteR.I.P. Donna! I remember parents being scandalized by her songs and videos back in the day, talking about how she was glorifying prostitution. Now you watch them and she seems like such a lady!
ReplyDeleteSome of the songs are still pretty wild.... I like the more pg13 lol... But the rhythm is irresistible :o}
DeleteI like your sketch Martha. Nicely done. I have an album by her. The big disco album and haven't played it in a long time. I don't know if my record player has a needle or I'd play it to pay tribute to her. Love your work. Have a wonderful weekend and if it's hot over there, turn your ac on. I know I will. Take care.
ReplyDeleteOh donna. Won't she be missed. What a disco icon. Wonderful tribute idea. Will love to see the finished piece. Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteA beautiful tribute to a great artist, your sketch already looks very good. Saludos
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to honor the disco legend! I love the energy in her hair (I have been working on drawing hair lately so I am really noticing good hair now...) Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteVery sad news and you did a great job on the sketch. I might go for your challenge tonight. :)
ReplyDeleteYour sketch looks amazing, I think your final product will be so beautiful as all your work!
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF!
I really like your sketch. What a great way to tribute a great singer. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful sketch - love the curls! They're dancing;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely tribute to a beautiful, talented singer!
ReplyDeleteWe seem to be losing so much talent lately. Your painting will be a wonderful way to remember the great Disco Diva.
ReplyDeletelovely sketch,she was an icon for sure
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start to your piece! Happy PPF! :)
ReplyDeleteI still love Donna Summer. What a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteI love Donna Summer and I love this song! She always made me dance! Bless her heart suffering with cancer! She is dancing above us all now ;o) Love the face Martha ;o) Hugs ;o)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see her finished and thanks for the challenge.... I've just joined in and have a lot of catching up to do but it should be fun :)

Martha, I am way behind on blog posts, so not going to comment on every post, but please know I am reading them all, and enjoying all of your artwork and faces.
ReplyDeleteI especially love this one! I know it will be beautiful when all done, it is already. Couldn't believe it when I heard she had passed. I am too young to really know her but had heard a lot of her music from my mom listening to her. One of my favorite songs is No More Tears!
Very nice!! Such a great artist of our lifetime!! RIP Donna!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!!
Hugs Giggles
Wow, lovely rendition of a true star! HPPF!
ReplyDeleteYour sketch is really good. Donna was a great songstress. Delightful idea to have a collage of Donna portraits.
ReplyDeleteShe will be greatly missed. I love how she's smiling in your sketch.
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch, Martha.
ReplyDeleteFaye
Joyful portrait and beautiful tribute.
ReplyDeleteI love how you handle your loss. This is an amazing sketch of Ms. Summer. Blessings, Janet PPF
ReplyDeleteI've done a couple of portraits of her: one in ink and one with watercolor pencil... http://weavingrainbow.com/HSblog/archives/2012_05.html#000358
