Face #12 Feb 12, 2013

For Face #12.. I wanted to experiment with a fun hair color and starting with my favorite color PINK! I  just love the color pink.. and love this pink bubble gum color hair she has and her beautiful pony tail.  Very pleased with how she turned out and painted her profile view so I could showcase her pretty hair.

Face #7 Feb 7th 2013

Face #7..

I wanted to try and paint black hair this time and add a little expression.  Painting black hair isn't easy but I am working to improve.  This is so different for me it's the charge I think I needed as I was in a major painting slump in 2012.. really even the year before that when my husband deployed to Iraq..   2013 I plan to really churn out painting and this challenge is helping me start with a bang! :)

So here's my girl..  Taking suggestions on names.. here or on my FB art page.. anywhere.  Usually deciding the next day on a name since she can't be nameless too long!

Ok.. here's my attitude girl

Face #6 February 6th, 2013

Face #6,,,  I thought I'd do a girl with a high ponytail and blonde hair. I'm having fun experimenting with the eyes and I particularly love how her eyes turned out.

I need name suggestions again..

She's painted on 4x4x3/4" canvas.   I really like this size. I bought some mini easels (you can find them at Michaels) and put them on that as I do them and they look really cute! I'll have to get a pic of one on a mini easel.

I listed her on Etsy here:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/122860584/29-faces-challenge-face-6-big-eyed-art

Sides painted black

Face #5 Taylor Feb 5, 2013

My 5th Face is a red head.   I picked the name Taylor since a friend suggested if I paint a red head to name her Taylor.. so Taylor it is.

I really like her and having so much fun!!

24 Faces to go!!! :D

Face #3 February 3rd, 2013

My 3rd Faces in the 29 Faces challenge.  I feel I'm learning more as I paint faces which is something I don't usually paint so trying to find a style as I go.  I really like this one a lot.  She came together really nicely and it's just made more determined to master faces and perhaps a new style I paint along with my still lives.

4"x4" x 3/4" acrylic on Canvas.. sides painted black.  Contact me if you are interested. Soon these will be uploaded to my Etsy store.

Again..  No name yet.. but I did decide for face #2 after many suggestions to go with Diana's suggestion of Vanessa as she did look like a Vanessa. Thanks Diana! :)
