I painted the bookmark first, and I like it better. The arrangement has a looser feel to it. But I am happy with both of these.

I have also been doing more faces, this first one was done in oil pastels, student quality. And I have to say I do not like them much. I had a hard time with blending, I need to read up on how to do it better.

Below is pen and watercolor, in my sketch book. I can see lots of errors, but I like her.

I also did a quick poppy sketch, not terrific, but I like it.

So keeping busy here the last few days. Hope you are feeling the joy and enjoying some creative time as well.

Doing the work.

Busy all week with decorations for a friends bridal shower. Still more to do. Sneaked in some painting. Just playing really and quick bits of time. But I did take a while with this larger image. I cropped it close. For some reason while painting, I kept circling her face with color. Closing in. Not sure what that was about.

My apologies, still having server issues. You can reload the page if the images are not visible, or click on the description to go to an attachment page.

Happy weekend to you!

When scanned, the background shows as a lovely violet. Pretty, but not true to life. I am in love with this color right now. And yellow. And flowers. I woke up with the idea of an intense background, set off with bright yellow buds.

I suppose I should have added some leaves, they are as pretty as the flowers. Well, next time.
