WHAT!?............ WEDNESDAY ALREADY?

This is what is on my desk this Wednesday.

It started out with a canvas board and some tissue paper for added texture.

Then a rough sketch.

Then the beginnings of some colour.

I hope you will pop back again to see it when it is finished.

THANK YOU to all who visited for last weeks WOYWW and for your lovely comments. I have to confess that I didn't manage to visit many people last week. I will surly make up for that this week.

A Little Woolen Number

I have been working in my 'Play Time' Journal again.

Some of you may have seen this little one recently. She was a little oil pastel  sketch that I did on a piece of paper that was lying on my desk. She looked like this.

As I said. She was only done on a scrap of paper so I decided to cut her head out and stick it in my 'Play Time' Journal and work on her some more.

This is how she looks now.

I did a little adjustment to the shading and to her eyes and lips and put her in a little knitted cardigan.

The cardigan is based on one I wore in a photo I have from when I was six years old. in fact the hairstyle is the same except I had a fringe or bangs for my american friends.

You may remember that I recently put some artwork in a local exhibition. Unfortunately it was a 'No Sale'.

However after the exhibition I was LUCKY enough to sell these two.

Sisters

SOLD

Sisters was your favourite in the little poll I held here a little while ago and......

Daydreamer,

SOLD

Daydreamer was a close 2nd.

I had a little soft spot  for 'Sisters' but I'm so happy that it has found a new home and I still have my original sketch that inspired the painting which I love to bits.

I'm sending out a BIG THANK YOU to the new owner of the paintings. I am so glad that you like them.

THANKS FOR VISITING.

Paint Party Friday.

It's been a busy week this week so I haven't got much to share but I just managed to rustle up a quick sketch in oil pastels to share with you for Paint Party Friday.

I really must apply myself to getting something more substantial completed.

Thanks for stopping by

I really appreciate it.

Hi There,

Not much on my desk this week except for another quick oil pastel and graphite sketch on a scrap of paper.

Just a little Bit.

This little one is in my handmade 'Play Time' Journal.

She has been done in gesso and graphite on a collaged background. The only colour is the tiny red hearts on her dress which were covered in gesso.

Hope you like her.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.

Paint Party Friday

Hi Everyone,

This week I can show you a piece of mail art that I did for a friend of mine as she has now received it so there is no chance of spoiling the surprise.

She is done in acrylics and oil pastel on a postcard backed with mount board. The envelope was handmade from one of my mono printed papers.

I am linking this post to PAINT PARTY FRIDAY. I hope you will follow the link and see what other party- goers have been up to.
