Last day of 29 faces! noooo

This month went too fast! Today we celebrate the last day of 29 faces challenge.

Did you learn something about yourself? Did you discover new blogs? Hopefully you made at least one new artsy friend!
For those in FB group, the chit chat will continue, many friendships were started and a sparkle of creativity of the somewhat reluctant Muses, came alive. ٩(◠◡◠)۶

 I want to congratulate you ALL for trying! Thank you very much for participating in this challenge, thanks for doing 1, 5, or 29 faces... we all do what we can, and sometimes life  has other plans, but the thing is that we try.

Every single time I run a challenge, something completely unexpected happens. From a computer virus, to a nasty cold; from a computer totally collapsing, to the passing of a loved one.
Don't let it stop you. Find your way to paint, draw, doodle... it is something in your system, let it flow and it will help you relax and cope.

Wow, I got too philosophical-ish serious there. But really, the end of the challenge makes me a bit sad.
However, I am going to see you all in September to make more faces!

Something I like doing is leaving my last face unfinished, as a continuation for the next time:

See you soon! Hugs!

28th face of 29

I think this is the worst face I ever made.. and dared to post.
Well, no one said it had to be a perfect end, right? I will work on it some more later when I get the inspiration. Today the muse was gone.
I like the close-up though :o)

Face #27, a Dreamy lady

I started with very dark turquoise and some how ended up too close to the color I used yesterday... funky, I think. I have been trying to use contrasting colors, at least in my head.

Anyway, this is a page in my journal, with some collage.
I have to say something: I am loving painting in this journal book! It is a surprise to me, because in the beginning I was feeling very limited in space, but I think I'm finally getting used to. Plus I love going through the pages and looking at all the colors. There are no words, so far I have not felt the need, but maybe I should add some before the month is gone. Thanks Pam (Always Artistic) I am really loving your present!

And my daughter's 22nd face: Courtney Crumrin, comics series.

We are so close to the end of the 29 faces challenge! have you visited all the participants blogs? look HERE to have great eye candy!

Face #26 of 29. A Goddess

This is challenging to me: stopping way before I think I am done. Why? Because I am getting feedback here at home to stop adding paint  \(ツ)/

So, based on that.... I have here this lady. Not sure if she is a Goddess, Mother Nature, or just a sort of free spirit girl. I am not going to even attempt to make her even-faced. This is very lose brush for me and scary and all, I'm leaving it as is.

I am very happy with the background and a very simple palette:

Face #25 of 29 faces

I decided to make a double post today and have this one in it's own post.
Face #25 with more of a lose brush and collage on a 4x6 board:

Reaching new corners

It is so thrilling to see how far and wide the 29 faces challenge has reached! I wish I could go and say hello to ALL, but some sites won't allow me. Like LifeJournal, so far I have not been able to find the comment link. I am a member so I will try after I log back in there.
Also I saw people from EBSQ participating, thank you for the linking guys! ♥ I'm waving my little hand to you all! I hope you are enjoying the challenge, and getting to meet more awesome people that love painting, doodling, sketching and even sculpting faces ♥

If you are a blogger and I do not leave a comment in your blog, most likely is that your profile is in glogle plus, which makes it literally impossible for people not there, to even contact you. Very frustrating, but I am visiting as many blogs as I can find. Some of your comments I can't track back to visit also due to the google+ not letting me see your blog. Sorry about that :o/

I have been posting also in the FB 29 faces page, blogs that are not in FB, so more people can find you. If for any reason you do not like the idea, just let me know and I won't include that blog, no problem :o)

My face for today in my art journal. I sketched this one months ago but just painted it today:

I saw red...

My face today is quite dramatic I think, with all that red... #23
Usually I like to paint smiling faces, but this one is a bit sad. Reminds me of my friend.

Here are some of the steps while painting this page in my art journal:

 I have to make the extra again, since yesterday I only finished the one I had unfinished.
Maybe I will do another page with a dramatic color for the background  (๏‿๏)

More of my WIP

I spent today all sniffly and with a watery nose... I hate it! So I took it easy. I was going to go shopping but decided to just stay out in the sun, it was really pretty outside.
I painted some more of my page, but I didn't start a new face today. I will rush tomorrow.

Here is a close-up of my face:

This is the whole page, I think I'm finished with it:

 

Here's an image before the background:

I have to go now and find a new box of tissues. Aaa-choooo!
We have 6 days left! It's going too fast.... Oh! I am posting blog addresses of participants to the FB page, so hopefully more people will go visit all of you.

A Crow, a girl, and a WIP

My new face for today is.... a crow! (#22)

Here is the whole ACEO: (Can you hear "siiiiinging in the raaaaain"?)

in my shop

The girl I started yesterday is done:

Now in the shop

And the woman in my journal from the other day, is still in progress:

Rainy day...

Yesterday  and today it rained a lot. So my  face #21 today is a little ACEO with a bit of rain :o)

I started too late so no time to paint. Plus I have not done my little girls for a long time and I can't even remember how to make their faces! agh! That is really bad :o.
We are counting the last 8 days of the challenge!!

How are you doing? Do you have all your faces? Did you skip some? Did you give up?
I know I myself am going nuts right about now (≧◡≦)
