Be Strong Canvas

I created another canvas for the mixed media canvas swap I'm hosting at Collage Stuff.  Something usually happens  in the course of the swap and I need another item to swap.  Thanks for coming by my blog!

Faces Art Journal - Face 11

This is Face 11.  Last night I had the face painted and I made weird hair.  The weird hair had to go.  When something doesn't go as planned, I'm usually pretty good at turning this "mistake" around.  I don't like calling an art experiment that doesn't go as planned a "mistake".  I believe that when something doesn't come out as planned that it's a challenge to turn into something that I like.  So here's what I ended up with.  I love Dali's women that have flowers for their entire head.  I like to make hair  out of flowers.  The entire top of the page is the woman's hair.  Sometimes I think she looks dark, but she's really got sort of a smirk.  It makes me wonder what she's thinking.  I am truly enjoying trying to learn to draw and paint faces.  I don't want to make photo realistic faces - just interesting faces. I always say that I can't draw, but I'm learning.  Thanks for coming by my blog

Faces Art Journal - Face 6

This is face 6 in my faces art journal.  When I sketched this face, I thought it was not attractive.  After I painted it, I find it to be more or less attractive.  The color made her come alive!  Thanks for coming by my blog!
