Late for the Party

Oh my, I'm late for Paint Party Friday - again! But better late than missing it again. I didn't have much time to paint this week, but at least I started a new girl and I hope that I can get her finished over the weekend.


It's an 8x8 canvas. The heart was my first attempt to work with molding paste, and I love it. I'm also more daring now with faces, I've practised a lot and slowly I get a better grip of it. Shading is so important for faces, and I enjoy doing it. I wonder where this girl will go from here - at the moment I'm envisioning butterflies in her hair and a bird on her shoulder, but who knows whether this will really happen?

I would love you to check out Paint Party Friday - there are over 70 talented artists and it's a joy to look at their artwork.

Better late than never! Love how it's shaping up. I have trouble with shading if I'm drawing from my imagination. That's where photos really help, I think.

fabulous background work, and I realise i haven't blogged my owl collage that you sent ( that I adore), it's because I hung it up in the living room and I keep forgetting to bring it back into 'my' room to photograph it!
