Another wizard I did for a friend who asked...<br />
And below, a new favorite. Made this one for another friend. I kept the original, and sent her a nice 18 by 24 print. Going to be selling art prints soon.<br />That's all for now.....Happy New Year!!!!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Still at it with drawing of faces. Lol. But a lot of my drawings I use filters on afterwards in a digital editing program these days, to prepare them for print. Or in the case of the blue wizard, he is completely digital and a vector logo made for a client. <br />
<br />
In any event, wanted to post before Christmas and wish all a safe holiday season.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This was actually a sketch for some outdoor art of a mermaid. The paper is 24" by 24".
I will be doing another post today, of pictures from my garden. Stay tuned...Beenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14927516866270017716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221553826453291683.post-54808259606632506422016-05-02T06:36:00.000-07:002016-05-02T06:36:01.657-07:00Six Long Months Of WorkIn the six months I haven't posted, I have been turning my yard into an organic vegetable garden. It took a lot of work, and I was just as thorough with the hardscaping as the actual gardening. I tried to approach it creatively, wanting a beautiful retreat. Lots of painting, and staining. Lots of arranging, and sometimes rearranging. Hope these before and after pics inspire some readers! :) <br />

There were some disasters with it, too...After joking that my son would eat the grim reaper's head off the cake as a late night snack; due to a problem with a misplaced dowel rod, the head rolled off anyway. I replaced it, and think it came out even better than it was originally (updated version pictured below.) I love how the finished cake looked all set up at my friend's house, pictured in the bottom photo below.<br />

This is just a very busy time of year, and I'm in the throes of a Halloween cake. I have posted sketches, and a vampire rendering all in gray scale. Also the fondant work for the cake shown in stages, below. When the cake is finished, I will post pictures. Really enjoying Halloween this year. A pic of the entrance to my home, and an autum sky I photographed this morning are below. Until next time, take care!<br />

I don't even let the fact that the stores have Halloween displays up in August ruin it for me when October actually gets here. Anyway, it's usually a busy time of year for me, too. It took me longer than I wanted to get back here to post. I have three more faces done, bringing the count to 932 faces. These were all done in pastel on a hemp colored paper...adds a kind of autumn glow, the toned paper. Thanks for reading! <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Just a very brief post...experiencing unbelievable problems with Chrome and Blogger. But the first piece below is <u></u><i>Puzzled. </i>The painting of a skull is <i>Over The Hill </i>and was created out of amusement at my latest birthday today. Lastly is a photo collage of recent work. I like seeing it compiled in a collage. Hopefully by next post, technical issues will be resolved. Take care until next time.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The second piece was definitely a learning experience. Her face is heavily layered with pastel and ink...I really pushed my surface to the limit. I have titled it <i>Face #926. </i>The peacock feather was also rendered in pastel and ink. You may see more peacock feathers in an upcoming piece. I love the look.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">As I was working on the mixed media piece below, I had a flood of ideas for future pieces.It made me recall a recent article a friend had posted on Facebook. Anyone creative might find it to be an interesting read, and the link is here:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The mixed media piece below I have simply titled <i>Face #923.</i>The face was rendered in pastel and ink, and the rest consists of decorative papers, a sticker, and a ticket. Both the sticker and ticket were part of different scrap booking supply goods I purchased. It was an enjoyable piece to work on. :)</span><br />

Pumpkin products turn up everywhere this time of year. In fact, at this very moment I am eagerly awaiting a visit from my mother who will be bringing Dunkin Donuts pumpkin muffins. Highly addictive pumpkin muffins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In any event, I made this piece I titled <i>The Amethyst Queen,</i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>pastel and ink. Afterwards, I kept thinking she needed a king and the idea for my next piece became clear as day in my mind. I have titled it <i>The Autumn King And His Pumpkin. </i>Also pastel and ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Perhaps I'll do a collection, and this is the start. Perhaps I'll write and illustrate a children's book. But in the meantime, I will be waiting for my pumpkin muffin. :)</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Along the way of creating it, I thought I'd play with the image digitally. It gave me some great ideas for making collage bits, mixed media elements...I will probably print some of these up. There are also some shown from other pieces I've done. I used various digital editing programs.</span><br />

This painting was definitely a learning process in many aspects, and I enjoyed it. Many, many transformations along the way which I show beneath the finished piece below...</span><br />

I probably would have gotten more faces done over the weekend if I hadn't gotten involved in some other projects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I was glad to have done this 19" by 25" study, Face #914, below. As to whether or not I will finish it it and post any updates is a decision pending. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The pressure is on. Well, sort of, anyway. Now that I'm blogging again, I have to be more mindful of the time so I have things to post regularly. I only have three faces to post, and had wanted more to show. But things are what they are. I have a pastel painting, a mixed media piece, and an ink sketch to show for the time being...faces through to Face #913. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Some of the pieces I've done lately, such as the second piece above done in mixed media, have given me ideas for larger more elaborate pieces. I am hoping to have some time to work on one over the weekend or early next week.</span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I finished this piece last week, but hadn't gotten around to posting until now. While I am continuing the faces I render, I have thought about making these seascapes to sell. A few of my friends had seen them, and wanted them for themselves to purchase. They aren't particularly time consuming for me to make, and I could probably price them to sell quickly. Just an idea at this point. Once I get to a thousand faces, I'll explore the idea some more. :)<br />
Blogger is acting crazy, and not allowing me to type below the photo, so I'll close here. Until next time, take care. Enjoy.</div>

It's a little late in life to be worried about coloring outside the lines...But I felt that way in the beginning of this blog, too. While I hope people like my work, there is a lot of self gratification and personal fulfillment at hand. I haven't been open to comments or feedback, and I'm pursuing my passion and a personal goal. These pieces in particular I have been enjoying, considering the months I spent thinking I would never be able to draw or paint again. Considering how close I draw near to my goal of a thousand faces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first piece is pastel on a 12" by 18" sheet of Canson. I think I like this one the best of this batch.</div>

Face #900, below, is a companion piece to a face I have already shown but now completed. The two faces combined make up one piece called "Soulmates". The faces in the piece are at a scale slightly larger than life size.These are both in soft pastel.</div>

I like the best of both worlds, of working in ink for its precision and detail...and working in pastel for the explosive color and more painted quality of the medium.I plan on continuing the remaining 100 faces with a lot rendered in both mediums.<br />
