Sometimes life gets in the way..

Hi again everyone!!  I have been working like crazy, so I missed Paint Party Friday last week and now I'm late for this week's!  I'm going back down to part time next week so hopefully that will give me more time to create some art.  I have a new painting idea and I've been really excited to start it.

Anyway, for this week's PPF, I decided to do a quick watercolor painting of Marilyn Monroe.  I used purple and blue and decided to do it a little differently than most of my others.  I wanted to use the white for her face instead of the usual white negative space in the background.  What do you think??

Can't wait to see what everyone else created this week!!!

The end of the challenge...until Sept!

I was so excited to join the 29 Faces Challenge last month.  I got to meet a lot of new bloggers/artists and it kept me motivated to create new art.  I really enjoyed trying a bunch of different mediums to create all of these faces.  Here are some of the faces I created for this past month's challenge:

 I can't wait until September to "attend" again.  In the meantime, I would love to keep in touch with everyone who was creating so expect to see my name popping up in the comments!

Marilyn Monroe

 Marilyn Monroe is such a classic icon...  I think that's why I have done so many portraits of her.  With this one I tried to make it look like Andy Warhol's Monroe prints.  I used acrylic paint instead of doing it as a print tho.

My younger sister is really obsessed with Marilyn Monroe so when she told me she was getting her own place I decided to make her an "apartment warming" gift. lol!  I made this for her about 2 years ago and she absolutely LOVED it.

Here are a couple progress pictures:
