It's been a while since I've been in my journal or painted faces. It felt really good to put some paint down. These were the last two blank pages...this journal is now complete. Hopefully my new SD card comes in soon so I can do a YouTube Journal Flip video.
I just played with lots of layers. This is the direction I plan to go in my new journal. My work feels so random sometimes. I get discouraged because I guess I'm supposed to be building a consistent body of work but I end up painting whatever comes to mind. Oh well, one thing I know for sure is that I love painting faces...it's a challenge for me every time.
For now, I'll go where my creativity takes me.
I've been fascinated by space lately...I had some wooden door signs in the vault so I pulled them out and started painting. I would like to paint more signs and incorporate portraits in some how. I think that eventually all the ideas I have in my head will come together at some point!
I have these posted in my ETSY. Please take advantage of this coupon code APAINTEDCOUPON as it will take $3.00 off of your purchase! The couple code will be good until the end of September. I have a few more paintings going up next week. Have a great weekend!
