Alaya Art sponsored 29 Faces in September 2015.  I didn’t get all of my 29 faces completed during the challenge period but I am going to continue with them until I get them all done.  It has helped develop my skills so much that I want to make sure I make it through all 29!  Also, Kim Dellow over on her blog has a fun thing going called Art It Friday – Show Your Face.  During the month of November Kim is challenging us to do a portrait in the style of another known artist.  I just received Karen O’Brien’s new book, Imaginary Creatures, this week and I enjoyed it so much that I thought I might attempt to imitate her style using one of her pieces of work that she displayed in her book.  Here is Face No. 23:
