Alaya Art is sponsoring 29 Faces in September 2015.  Going with a more imaginary feel again today.  Also, Kim Dellow over on her blog has a fun thing going called Art It Friday – Show Your Face.  I discovered it while browsing some linked blog pages on Julie Fei-Fan Balzer’s regular Friday post Art Journal Everyday post which she usually posts regularly every Friday.  I found Paint Party Friday through Kim Dellow’s post.  This is a fun group, too!  There are some really talented artist doing all sorts of painty things over there.  Here are my entry, which is also 29Faces-No. 18.

I used several different mediums on this portrait: graphite, colored pencil, PanPastels, watercolor, white Uniball Signo pen, and a white water-based Sharpie marker.  I tried doing a side look this time–from the opposite side that I have done most of them and I think it “turned out” alright…LOL…  Sorry about the bad humor–it is Friday and the weekend is almost here for me.  I am one happy camper.  I will be singing in two events this weekend at my church.  Friday night will be an “open mic” night which I think will be a lot of fun.  ANYone can participate and it is likely to be a younger crowd.  Sunday night will be a more formal worship service but also to be held in our cafe-style multi-use building.  The feel will be casual and more intimate than the usual larger sanctuary feel.  That also should be a great experience.  Saturday night will be a “girl’s night out” with my two bestie with a movie and then dinner and a hot-tub soak and lots of girl-talk and laughter I am sure.  I hope I don’t laugh so much I wear my voice out before Sunday night?!!  I have a great weekend lined up which I am really looking forward to after feeling so ill and dragging the last two weeks.  It is necessary and well-deserved, I think.  🙂  What do you have planned for this weekend?  I hope it will be great fun and all that you want and need it to be!
