watching paint dry...

I spent a good amount of time painting on paper this week. Too much to go into today, for instance I'll save the bottom two works that I did in art therapy lessons for another post as I played around with them a lot.

I was inspired by my friend in Hawaii's rooster image this week https://sonjahagemanndesigns.blogspot.com/
I loved his blue/black feathers and the heart on his side

speaking of inspiration from blogs, my friend Monika (link here!) had a photo of her poppy that I decided to interpret

and display on my desk in the kitchen. Thank you Monika!

While watching a tribute to Sondheim on youtube I painted two more portraits, the center top, and the far right. Each time I work on an interesting face, I learn how to capture different mouths, different eyes, ad gestures. I am enjoying having a little grid to fill in keeping them in one location.

The tree image was from creationceecee lesson...

 I added in finetec metallic gold paint, love that, and found a quote to add in... like a prayer

“A true artist is not one who is inspired but one who inspires others.”Salvador Dali
