Live Colorfully

This is a self-portrait I painted yesterday trying not to use any flesh tones.  Really freed me up to just play!

The good thing about doing self-portraits - the model is always available! ha!

Moi

I wore this pair of red glasses for the last 2 years that I absolutely loved - last week they broke and when I went to the eye doctor's office to drop off for repair, they told me they could not be repaired and were not available for replacement!  Bummer!  So, I had to do a painting to memorialize the red glasses.  Even if I didn't get my essence exactly right, I think I captured the red glasses.

It felt good to paint a face again . . .

Journal Pages

Went to a wonderful mixed media class taught by Dina Wakley today.  We worked on layers in our journal pages and for mixed media pieces.  We layered with gesso, paint, stencils, painted tissue paper, pictures, watercolor crayons (and anything else one could think of).  Here are 2 of my journal pages.  Very fun and creative day!
