Day 12: One more face

I painted up a storm yesterday!
OK, it was not a storm, it was faces, but you know what I mean right? ho ho ho

This is how this one started:

  

I am very happy with the result! It is hard for me to keep a loose brush, so it was challenging and so exciting!  This is the first page in my new larger journal ♥

I made a small book to use for my 29 faces but so far I have not done more than one there,  will be posted tomorrow, along with all the other ones.

Can you believe we are almost at the end of the second week?

This is my 2nd post for today, the other one is a blog tip HERE (Blogger not letting people connect to post)
