29 Faces Day 5 Shower

Ahhh... shower time. The best time for inspiration and getting those creative juices flowing. I think shampooing stimulates those brain cells! Most colorful in bright chalk pastels.

29 Faces Day 4 Power Shake

Side tracked by a dinner party last night after a day of house cleaning, I missed my face! After that brisk walk in black and white and colored pencil on Day 3, Ms. Face is now sipping down her morning protein shake. It's a rush of energy... enough to keep going until lunch. Watercolor done very quickly. I guess better late than never... but tell that to the boss!

29 Faces Day 3 The Walk

A little brisk walk does a body good after waking up. Especially when the view is this good.
Graphic soft pencils with chalk pastels.

29 Faces Day 2 Waking Up

Yesterday's face was sleeping. Now she's up! The mornings can be so hard, especially after a late night.

A big yawn, rubbing sleepy eyes, and thinking about what this face will be doing on day 3.

Check back on Friday, February 3rd, to find out!

Here's the link to the challenge I'm taking on. You can go here to see all the other artists who have joined in! My post for my first face is just below this post.

29 Faces Day 1 Sleeping

So I've decided to take on Ayala's art challenge of 29 faces for this month. I may at times not be able to scan, and just post right from my Driod with a few color and contrast adjustments in PS... so here it goes. Here's to the month of February. A Leap Year! And special thanks to Ayala for the inspiration and challenge. And each small quick face will be available for purchase.
