The Face at the Window.

This was painted with someone in mind. She is a lover of cats but I can't say more than that because it is intended as a gift.

The Face at the Window

Materials used, gesso, acrylic, charcoal pencil and watercolour pencils.

In recent posts I have shared what I have called my 'doodle girls'. These have been created on the spare of the moment on any scrap paper lying around on my desk. This time I was experimenting with my oil pastels. 


She is my version of one of Kelly Rae Roberts angels. Her book 'Taking Flight '  in which she shares tips and techniques is one of my books that I return to time and time again for inspiration.

I was pleasantly surprised how she turned out. I think oil pastels are quickly becoming one of my new loves.

Thanks for visiting.x,

    Hello Fuzzie, I think your girl with the cat painting is wonderful and will be such a nice gift for your friend. I was looking through your previous posts and want to say I am loving the faces you are painting. I can see your style in them which is wonderful.

    I did a rendering of that exact same piece by KRR a long time ago when I first was learning to paint. It is a lovely book. There is such an innocence in her art. Yours too I would say.

    I really love that first painting. The contemplative look in her eyes and the cat in the window. Great work!

    'The Face at the Window' is adorable!! The lady is beautiful and the cat so cute. Your friend will be thrilled to receive this. Anyone would be. I think your angel is fabulous. I like my oil pastels too. I look forward to seeing more of your work with them.
    *sigh* , now I'm all caught up with your beautiful art :D Being laptopless is not fun at all. It's still not 100%, and keeps crashing, but it's better than it was. Hooray!! :D Have a great week Carol x

    Thank you so much for your lovely and supportive comment, Fuzzie. I am feeling a lot better now and hopefully after the angiogram tomorrow, they'll let me home on the following day! I am in the right place and everyone is kindness itself.

    I love your latest drawings and the doodle girl with the little wings is totally adorable!
