29 Faces in September
September is here and it's time for 29 Faces!
Click here to link to the Face Book Group.
Or Click Below
My theme, "Facing The Garden."
I'm going to attempt to draw, and when possible, paint a series of 29 faces within flowers, or vegetables or fruits.
Our fearless 29 Faces Leader, Martha, has given a prompt word for the first week of 29 Faces.
The word is "Aretha."
It's not that we must do an Aretha face, but I really wanted to try.
So sorry Aretha, please for give me. It doesn't really look a lot like Aretha but it's my tribute. I found a photo of Aretha Franklin from 1967 approximately and I used it as my reference for my drawing. I then scanned the drawing and I scanned a lily flower drawing I had, I then digitally merged the face with the flowers.
I printed it out and then added some additional shading.

Getting to know me...
In preparing myself for the
I made a discovery about myself.
I've always had an interest in art and creating things in general. What I discovered is that I've been interested in drawing faces for a very long time, I pulled out all my journals and sketch books and began looking for faces. I found several drawings of faces that I drew over 30 years ago. I also know that my recent interest and joy in making art dolls is connected because making their faces is what I enjoy the most.
I was and still am a bit shy about sharing my faces because there are many amazing artists posting faces in this challenge. I was encouraged to enter and have fun and so I am. Below are my 29 faces for the month of February. I learned quite a lot and I had a fun time participating in the challenge. My plan is to keep practicing and take some drawing, painting and journaling classes.
I wanted to add a few of the faces I drew over 3o years ago.
My favorite, a model in a magazine. I never finished it.
You may recognize her, Jaclyn Smith 20 years ago.
My daughter has never forgiven me for that perm. (((laughing)))
If your are interested in joining the 29 Faces group there is a link on my side bar. They will be doing the challenge again in September. 29 Faces Group
Off I go now to make some soup bowl cozies.

'WHO ARE YOU" WORKSHOP
For several weeks in January I stayed warm and cozy taking a workshop with Jodi Ohl. The workshop is called "Who Are You." I found the class to be relaxing and fun. Jodi shares her painting techniques and has an easy going attitude . Her step by step videos are simple to follow. The beauty of these online classes is that you can go back and watch the videos as often as you like.
Below are my painting from the class.
This wasn't my first class with Jodi, I've also took her "Let's Face it Class."
Go here to visit Jodi's blog or here to see her classes at Creative Workshop.

A Creative Spirit...
During the month of January I've been enjoying an online class with Jodi Ohl.
The class is called "Who Are You?"
I'll be posting more information and my pictures soon.
For February I'm going to attempt a challenge.
I'm joining a group called
"29 Faces in February."
Creating at least one face a day and posting it will be quite a challenge for me.

September!
I'm down to the wire with this post.
Here is my September Tree and Wreath.
My favorite ornaments are the apples. The photos are blurry, sorry about that. This is one of my favorite trees.
But it's time to decorate my October tree.
