More portraits...


 

I can't believe that summer vacation is over. It is never a vacation for the mom, I grant you that... it feels like a lot more work some days! I sent my younger one to start her junior year today. My son starts his sophomore college year in a couple of weeks. Maybe then I can catch up with things.
This is one more page in my little journal, in steps:

  

  

Typically my faces are smiling... This one was a bit sad, frumpy and tired. I guess it's how I'm feeling? lol At the end and with more color and highlights, she looks better. Her hair is hilarious!  :o)

Now that I have more available creative time, I will finish editing some videos.

  1. Isn't it funny how our feelings come out on the canvas. Looks like you're in need of a break ;-) Love the little blue spots in her face ....

  2. Beautiful. I thought she looked a bit sad, like maybe she's regretting that it is the end of summer too. Just the same, her features are wonderful.

  3. It's funny..people often think I'm sad or grumpy because that's the emotion I choose to paint often, but, I'm not. I just like painting emotion, and painting sadness comes easy for me. If I am in a sad mood, I'm more likely to paint a happy, smiling face because it's hard to be sad when you're painting a smile. :) Weird, I know!

  7. She is beautiful, though pensive. This is my first visit with you and I am impressed with your art. She may look sad, but I bet you had fun with her, especially with the orange hair :)
