Anyway, if you are having seasonal weather changes, enjoy them. Take pictures, they are always great reference for paintings and journal pages later on ♥
I am working slowly on this 4x6. It is quite moody I should say. Darker colors, and gold that is always fun and difficult to photograph:
Remember we start the 29 faces challenge tomorrow! (Pacific time..! I know some of you are already in Tomorrow!
Don't cheat and show only old work! lol half-done faces are fine, any size, material and level is fine too. The important thing is to dare to try at least one new thing, new materials or something that you are nervous or stress to try. You will not be alone!
Your painting is a bit moody, I agree. I like the gold - I have never dared to really work with that color, and I don't think I am ready for it yet. Perhaps that would be a challenge for the 29 faces that I intend to do??
ReplyDeleteI like your moody girl ;o) Are you doing any Halloween aceo's this year? Take Care Martha ;o)
ReplyDeleteI am ready for the Challenge,lol a bit too keen I guess. Thanks for doing it again Martha. I like moody and it just needs to be done it is part of hour life. It is a shame the gold doesn't come through I know how gorgeous your work is so I can guess what it really looks like. Have a wonderful day! ManonX
ReplyDeleteI love moody! She looks fantastic already. I can only imagine how lush all that gold looks in real life. It's funny - I cannot abide gold in clothing/jewellery etc but I absolutely love it in art.
ReplyDeleteLove this, Martha! The combination of colours is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMartha, thank you for hosting another 29 faces. Managed to complete in February, so hoping can do the same this month.
ReplyDeleteAh! I've been gone so long that I've missed everything. I really like the dark and gold contrast! 29 faces huh? I might try to participate again...
ReplyDeleteMoody is better than too glad. This is real and interesting.
ReplyDeleteI desided to come with, I hope I have done everything right.
Love your work!Hugs from Brazil!

Love this, the gold is so wonderfully rich & decadent :) Memphis knows I tried (& failed whoops) your 29 Faces once before but still had a ball doing it, so I've joined again, woohoo!!
ReplyDeleteso sad Summer is going, but at least your great challenge gives me something bright for the Autumn!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! Those colors are amazing. There is such depth to this piece! The dimension is so realistic, and then pairing it with those grey-blues and yellows... awesome! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! This new event is so great Martha! I am unhappy but I am very busy with other projects and our renovation ... it would be so good for me exercising faces.. but maybe I can make some though!

I hope you can!
DeleteHello Ayala! had a question. The link that I posted wasn't right. I thought we were going to post everyday so I just linked my first face and not the proper link. How can I fix the link?
ReplyDeleteI will go check, I can fix it from the Linky myself :o) I'm glad you are participating!
DeleteYour pretty gold girl wonder what is happening in world. I like very much!
ReplyDeleteGee. Thought I'd better pop in to say how nice it is to be riding along on the 29 Faces challenge. Thanks for making that happen for all of us!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that moody piece you're working on. Looking forward to seeing it progress!
