Hi everybody!
I have been painting more faces, I want to practice, and this time I have another girl with red and gold hair, and gold earrings to match. I am having fun with these faces, and there will be more coming with different hair colours! I still have a lot of pain, but I take lots of rests in between adding the layers and letting the paint dry. On the 2nd one I have placed some words, I haven't glued them down yet as I was unsure. What do you think - with or without them? I would be grateful for your opinions:
Tuesday's beautiful sunrise:
And some thinkies:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
I like with the words Valerie. Beautiful sunrise photos, I hope the pain eases for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue, that's a help! Have a great day!
DeleteThis face is great. I like how you used so many shades and how they add depth to this face. Plus the tinge of white in the eyes on on the lips. She is a beauty, and I love her hair too. Wonderful sunrise today, and I love the quotes in your memes. Its hard to pick one I like better than the other today. Have a wonderful mid-week, and I hope you don't need long rests while the paint dries. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika! Have a great day, take care, hugs!
DeleteI love your faces Valerie, I would not put the words on just so the viewer can decide what their thoughts are about your art piece.
ReplyDeleteLovely sky photos-thanks praying for less pain
Happy mid week hugs Kathy
Thanks for your advice about the words, that's a good thought. And thanks for the prayers! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
DeleteI am in the no-words category. On the other hand, when it comes to your sunsets, I have lots of words -- all fabulous and admiring!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie. The sunrise and sunsets here are often spectacular!
DeleteHope you feel better soon. Lovely art, I like the words in that painting I would keep them. Lovely photos and quotes
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, and thanks for your advice about the words! Have a great day!
DeleteI vote for the words and your face is very expressive.
ReplyDeleteThe sunrise---glorious and enjoyed the memes.
Hope the pain recedes.
Thinking of you,
Hugs
Thanks so much, Sandra! And thanks for your opinion about the words. Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteYour face painting is very good. Very expressive. Beautiful sunrise. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy. The sunrise was really beautiful. Today we just have dark clouds! Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteHi Val, good morning! Love your beautiful art, really fantastic. I hope your pains soon get less, I wish you would go to a specialist, perhaps you have injured something in your knee joint! I wish I was nearer and could drag you to the doctor's! Have a good day, take care, hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, I could just imagine you dragging me along by my hair! I have an appointment by the orthopaedic specialist, but in January! Have a great day, hugs to all!
DeleteI love this girl. She seems to be looking at the words, like thought bubbles. I think the words really bring it to life. It would also be fun to let the viewer imagine what she is thinking.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa. Yes, it does look like she's looking at the words! Tanks for our opinion! Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteShe is a stunner, Valerie! Look at that face and look at that hair! You do let your imagination run wild when you create these beauties and the results are amazing! It's too bad that you are still experiencing so much pain, and it's a testament to your determined spirit that you continue to produce these little mistresspieces. There, I just coined a new word, and I like it. Seems appropriate for a corner of the world where rare and exotic birds appear randomly and girls like this sashay off the pages of the artistes of the Balconia compound. I think I will call this one Zelda. Who wouldn't want to get to know a femme fatale named Zelda? Just ask F. Scott Fitzgerald. I can only imagine calling on my friends and introducing my new belle, Zelda. It would be exciting just saying her name. And with that hair, no one would forget her! I hope your pains abate soon, your fingers cooperate and you deliver more beautiful women to us. Hugs and kisses. David
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear David, I'm glad you are enjoying the lovely ladies painted to enhance your days! And Zelda is a good name, I had a school friend called Zelda when I was at primary school, and she had flaming red hair, too! Here's to Zelda! Mistresspieces is a good name, too, you are really on the ball today! My balcony is being visited by lots of frequent flyers who live in the tree in front of my bedroom window. The leaves are nearly all gone now, so I can see them flying in and out of their home. The Tits visit the most, and once a twice a day the blackbird comes by. I will do my best to continue to supple you with beautiful woman day by day! Have a great one, hugs!
ReplyDeleteGlorious face and I like the words. Awesome sunrise photos. The red highlights, I don't know what to call them, remind me of the hair of the woman you painted. Enjoy your new toys!
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ! I call them sun spots, but have no idea what they should be called. I always enjoy new toys, who doesn't? Have a great day!
DeleteI love this face. That hair! and I love her features and that expression. She's great without the words. Or with them. Either way is a win :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious sunrise!
Thanks so much!
DeleteThat second to last meme shows the South Korean flag, the Yin Yang symbol. As for your painting, I like it without the words. And, oh my, the paint should not have dripped. Splendid painting otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThe Paint drips are meant to be there and are part of this style of art!
Delete...es ist lebendig, gerade die Augen das ist wichtig, ausdruckstark und sie gefällt mir sehr gut.Gesichter male ich so lange schon aber jedes mal wird es anders, so wie ich mich ach fühle!
ReplyDeleteWunderschön deine Fotos und das andere!
Lieben Gruss Elke
Vielen Dank, liebe Elke! Dir einen schönen Tag!
DeleteLove your faces. They are fun aren't they. I like seeing you on FB too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole, and yes, it's nice to meet up on FB!
DeleteBeautiful painting! I'm so happy you are staying with it. I'm praying for you to not be in pain. I love your sky!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Debra! Have a great week!
DeleteYour face is beautiful. I really like it. She reminds me of the famous actress Kerry Washington. You don't need to ask me. I am not a big fan of words in my art, but I have found art journalers prefer a few words. I say you don't need the words. The beauty of the art speaks for itself.
ReplyDeleteLovely sky shots, too. PLEASE don't overdo anything dear. Please rest your hands.
Thanks Elizabeth! Thanks for giving your opinion. Today I had a lazy day and watched Halloween films, it was fun. Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteShe's amazing Valerie! I love the drips and her beautiful face. I like the words, but I usually like to include some words on my art.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunrises too.
Take care,
Alison
Thanks Alison, t like using words, too! Have a great day!
DeleteBeautiful painting Valerie, she is gorgeous...
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx

DeleteYour red-haired girl is wearing an awfully pretty sweater:)
ReplyDeleteHugs
Thanks Sandra, have a great day!
DeleteShe is beautiful Valerie, I love her hair and gold earrings! I like the words also. Gorgeous sunrise photos today! Take care & hugs, Tammy
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Tammy, I really appreciate your comments. Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteThis lady is gorgeous, Valerie! To me she is complete without the added words, but then I'm not used to putting words in art. Your words are appropriate though. I might add mysterious! I'm sorry that you are in pain. I admire your determination to persist despite the pain. We have to keep moving forward through challenges, don't we? I love the thinks, and your sunrise was magnificent! Take care, my friend! Sending you a big hug!
ReplyDeleteThanks Louise, glad yoü Like my Lady, got another one coming up tomorrow. You Take Care, too!
DeleteI would go with no words ...
ReplyDeleteI just love her hair.
A beautiful sunrise photograph.
Take care, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan! Have a great day!
