TGIF

Hi Everybody!

It's Friday, how nice, I'm looking forward to the weekend as this has been a busy week with lots of appointments!  Today I have an A3 face painting which was painted on a piece of recycled paper which was wrapped round some sheets of coloured card that I bought at the stationer's here in town. He rolls the card and secures it with scrap paper, which I then painted on. I used the colours which were on my palette, just her 'lipstick' was new.  Sometimes it's fun to paint  something quick and grungy. I am linking to Elizabeth's recycling challenge at AJJ:






I am also linking to Nicole's FFO and 
Gillena's Friday Art Fun

And some thinkies / funnies:











Have a great Friday, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  1. She's a quick painting? She came out amazing Valerie. I like how you colored her skin too with those blue tones. I'm not a great face painter so I can appreciate your quick skill. And your paper is perfect for Elizabeth's challenge. I hope you have a relaxing Friday and weekend ahead. hugs-Erika

  5. It is amazing to me, Valerie, that you can just decide to do it and come up with a face like this. She is beautiful, sensual, a tad mysterious, and guaranteed to imprint on one's memory. She will dance in my head all day. The judicious use of blue adds allure and stands as a testament to your artistic sensibilities, not bestowed on mere mortals like us. I am going to call her Zelda. She looks like a Zelda, don't you think? I can just imagine taking her to a cocktail party or to a reception, and everyone would be talking about her. "How about that David having a Zelda?" they would say. I'd be the talk of the town and all thanks to her. She may even banish you from my mind, Valerie, you and Heike too. You may have just estranged yourself from my hitherto undying affection, i will send you hugs and kisses today, but they may be my last! David

    1. I have a friend called Zelda, but she is not blue . Glad you like my girl, but pleeeease don't drop Heike and me for such a person! It is fun painting with a limited colour selection. I was in our little town this morning and a group of people were demanding that people wake up and start protecting our world before it's too late, but most people don't seem very interested....same old story! Have a fabulous Friday! Hugs, Valerie xxxxxx

  6. Your face is amazing. I agree with Erika. It doesn't look quick to me, but I am not one who can draw a face. I adore how you created this with recycled materials, too. Thanks for sharing it with us at AJJ using Bleubeard's and my theme.

    Love the funnies. That's me baking banana bread (NOT)!! Have a relaxing weekend, dear.

  9. Your new lady is stunning, I wonder what she's looking at. The funnies are good too, I particularly had to smile at the dog, he's so cute but you might guess I would like that one. Have a great weekend. Hugs, Angela xxx

  12. That face grows on you, doesn't it? That last meme made me laugh. I wasn't expecting it.

  13. Dein gemaltes Gesicht besitzt sehr ausdrucksstarke Augen, liebe Valerie - toll! Und zu lachen gab's auch wieder einiges bei dir. Tickle-tickle ;-DDD
    Ich mache übrigens nie Banana bread, aber sehr, sehr gerne Babana pankakes und Banana milk :-)
    Schönes Wochenende und liebe Rostrosengrüße 🌷☘️🌷

  14. Hi Valerie. Sorry I have not been around. Dealing with medical again. However, I love this face you created. There is something telling in her face. Ohhh the diet funny is just too good. I hope you are well and life is treating you with goodness. Thank you for joining FFO.

  22. Great use of the wrapping paper for your page, with the lovely lady. Love the funnies. Hugs Wendy.

  23. Your lady in blue is delightful. What a lovely idea to recycle the paper used to wrap your purchases and produce a portrait like this one. You are inspiring me to try my hand at portrait painting again. Just never seem to have the time, there is so much I want to do.
    Had a real smile re the egg for breakfast, that is so me, i can eat chocolate at any time and I have had a longing for a Cadbury Creme Egg for over a week now. maybe I should hunt one down.
    Hugs, Neet xx
