Hi Everybody!
This was a quick practice face made recently, I'm still trying to do different angles and colours etc. I wasn't fond of this colour scheme, so I used it to make a 2nd version which was altered in my digital programme. I am linking to Matilde's 'what makes me happy' challenge at AJJ:
And more faces, funnies and thinkies ready for Friday:
And one espcially to help dear David:
Some David Zinn pics:
And more of my photos:
Great funnies and another wonderful face. Hope you are feeling better. Hugs, Sandra sandracox.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletethanks Sandra, have a great day, hugs!
DeleteA super collection of funnies.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are lovely, the skies so beautiful.
... and I enjoyed seeing your art and David Zinns art.
Happy midweek wishes.
All the best Jan

Thanks Jan just came home after a little trip with a friend, always good to come home!Enjoy your day!
DeleteI like seeing your faces. What I first noticed about this one is the gold earring and shadow. OK, why I saw that first, I can't say. I like the face, and how you altered it. And you have some great thinkies today. The Mark Twain is too (sadly) true, and the dandelion one made me smile. That's always a good thing. I hope you have a great rest of the workweek. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteMy ladies don't often have earrings, glad you saw it. Yes, Mark twain was right! Have a lovely day, hugs!
DeleteLovely face and fun thinkies and photos!
ReplyDeleteHi Val, good morning! I love both versions of your face. The digital one is more 'your' colours, but they are both great. And I like that you always experiment. Mark Twain has really nailed it, and stupidity seems to be on the increase these days! Have a great day, take care, hugs, Sarah and all!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, i think we are all convinced that Mark Twain was right! JUST CAME HOME FROM A little coffee and shopping trip with hEIKE, NOW IT'S FEET UP TIME FOR ME! Sorry, my fingers are making mistakes today! Hugs to all!
DeleteYour ladies are beautiful with their long necks. I have NO neck, so that's why I notice yours. I can see why they make you happy. They are great for Matilde's theme at AJJ, Valerie.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the bird meme. I could tell they were all birds, too, but not what kind. David Zinn's art was quite enjoyable today. Have a great weekend.
Long necks are so nice, I wish I had one, too! David seems to be happy with the chart, so happy to help him! Have a nice day, hugs!
DeleteThank you very much for this helpful chart, Valerie, to aid with my bird identification struggles. I am resolved to use this daily and it will doubtless have benefits yet unknown. I have several presentations coming up over the balance of June and doubtless this added knowledge, and the ease of acquiring it will add greatly to their professionalism. Power Point is really going to have power! I’ll let you know how often I get invited back! Your face is as always fabulous, the stuff of dreams, a source of fantasy, a pleasure in every way. Maybe I’ll make a slide and insert it into my presentation, call it a bird, and see if anyone notices. Here we are - Thursday already. I have to visit the Volkswagen dealer this morning since my car is giving me headaches. I have been a loyal VW customer for over twenty years, but this may be the last car of theirs. It has not been nearly as reliable as the previous two, and everything is so electronic today it’s almost impossible to fix even the simplest things yourself. Stay well! Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeletei am so happy I could help you with the chart! I can name quite a lot of birds now! Hope you get your car repaired and that it will once again be of good service to you! Hugs xxxxxxx
DeletePainting faces makes you happy and it's a gift when you're able to bring happiness to your own well being with painting. Each face is somehow different and they're all interesting and amazing. Wishing you a great day today filled with happiness and lots of smiles. A good cup of coffee helps too though, right? LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol, glad you like my faces! and coffee and faces - wonderful! Hugs!
DeleteLove the faces and beautiful sunrises.Great Moms mene too we had a lot more freedom then,the birds list was very helpful mind you we get all of those in the garden except one I didn't recognise.Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteCarol x
Good that you can tell one bird from another. I do know a few´but nothing like our David! I just have a balcony, but get lots of hungry birds visiting! Have a lovely day! Hugs!
DeleteThe "then and now" was fabulous - so true and reminded me of mum when I was young. Did I say those things to my now grown up son?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous funnies and thinkies - the little fish is so cute and so are the Zinnies, especially the one that is about to press the button. Earl has to have a mention as I really enjoyed that cartoon. Oh heck, I love them all and your photos - well what can I say?
Love your face again and really love the enhancement done digitally, wish I could do more like that on the computer. Her hair is so like a luscious piece of chocolate.
Hugs, Neet xx
Thanks Neet. Earl is always good, I love those cartoons. And as you say, I think we were treated to some of the comments from the right side as children, but I never used expressions like that with my daughter. At school teachers used to wash our mouths out with carbolic soap if we used a swear word, and it was not nice! The only teacher who was different was our art teacher, she used to swear a lot, and we enjoyed it! Hugs!
DeleteSo many ways to think about being happy!
ReplyDeleteI just had yogurt with fresh fruit - it made me happy, too!
DeleteMy usual scroll first had me laughing today Valerie, love the Mum before and after and so true, love the grandpa joke, and identifying a bird, lol , so funny..and as always your faces are fabulous..weekend is coming keep smiling..
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx..
Thanks Chrissy. The world is in such a sorry state, we need to laugh more!
DeleteOoo, I do like her! There's something about that shade of pink and those browns that set each other off.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, have a great day!
DeleteThank you for identifying and sharing my own feelings about dusting! And of course i love the cats.
ReplyDeleteThanks jeanie, now you know how bad dusting is!
DeleteThe alien is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYes, he's cute! Hugs!
DeleteSuper arr, funnies and thinkies.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Art For Fun Friday
Much♡love
Thanks Gillena. Love and hugs back to you, too!
DeleteValerie, your practice face looks fantastic! I love seeing your experiments with different angles and colors. Even though you didn't like the initial color scheme, the digital transformation is great!
ReplyDeleteYour funnies and thinkies for Friday made me smile, especially the Mark Twain quote. David Zinn's art is delightful, and your photos are stunning as always.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks, Veronica. Experimenting is fun and I learn a lot from it. Have a great weekend, take care, hugs!
Delete...Valerie each week you assemble a wonderful post and I thank you for all the laughs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, laughing is good! Hugs!
DeleteNice face, I really like the digital re-make of it though.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's fun to play with digital colour alterations. Enjoy your weekend!
DeleteWonderful faces.
ReplyDeleteI love all the funnies.
Your sky photos are so beautiful.
Thanks Dixie, we have wonderful skies here! Hugs!
DeleteI like the humor. As always, it's fun. That David Zinn would be a wonderful husband.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! He would probably chalk figures all over the house and walls!
DeleteYour funnies have made me smile today. I fear we have too many things in the house with a flat surface which is why there is so much dust but she's right you've just done the dusting a it reappears like magic! hate it! Loving your new ladies too and David's art work, gorgeous. Have a good weekend, hugs Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela, glad it made you smile. Have a good weekend, take care! Hugs!

DeleteYour painted lady makes me wonder what she is thinking! Great expression. And I like the brown. Am I imagining things or have you changed your blog header photo multiple times lately? I'm dizzy! hahahaha XOX
