Super texture

Usually my art  includes a smile, even if a small or mysterious one, but lately, my faces are not smiling. And as much as I love painting eyes, these two paintings today have only dark spots. Maybe in the future I will continue to work on them, depends on the muse.

    

I am very happy with the texture. Can you believe we are in the last few days of the 29 faces challenge?

  3. I really like the texture although I'm not sure I wouldn't be a bit frightened if I met these two people in person! I absolutely love the color combination. I hope to see them finished and having eyes and maybe a smile. My 29 are finished. I have so much to attend to at the end of the month that I did them early.

  4. I like your little portraits. Lovely textures indeed. Sorry that I haven't been around much to comment but I''m running a bit behind the 29 faces and after I'm finished I go and try to visit everyone who entered the challenge. There are so many lovely creations and artists that I haven't seen yet.
