Kim Dellow over on her blog has a fun thing going called Art It Friday – Show Your Face Inspired by {Insert Name Here}. 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.
The new theme of “Inspired By” is to encourage everyone to try a different style that someone else might exhibit–giving credit of course to the artist of inspiration. 🙂 My artist of inspiration is Mindy Lacefield. I have taken a couple of online classes with her and she is great. The girl below was mostly inspired by that and one of her books.
I want to get better at sketching portraits so this is a good challenge for me to take to improve that skill. Here is this week’s “face” for my post:
I am still on VACATION this week and the early half of next week…Yes!! Should be posting and update soon…
Have a great weekend!
Nothing is sweeter than the love and praise of your children. I love the proverb lady, and how she loved her husband and children and household. You child is sweet and you truly captured the express of love and gratitude.
Awwwwhhh…thank’s, Wanda! You are sweet with your kind words. And you know the verse, too! Doubly sweet! 🙂
Very sweet indeed, Valerie
Ooh what a cutie, love your girl hugs Debs xx
What a lovely girl. I love how you used colour and the Bible quote is very beautiful! xx
Thanks, Julie! This was a practice page for the card that I painted and sent to my Mom for Mothers Day earlier this year. That’s why it isn’t finished. The funny thing is that I liked the face on this one better than the finished one I created for the card.
I love this face! So much emotion.She looks like she could walk off the page. Happy Vacation!
Thank you! Mindy has a unique way of creating faces that make them very expressive and I just copied her technique.
recognized this style immediately…so fun and cute, and the child-like innocent quality is just lovely!
Beautiful Mindy inspired girl…love it!! Love the words too!!
Hugs Giggles
This art is spot on reflection of Mindy – cool!
So lovely!
Thank you!
aaaawwww! Her face is absolutely delightful! I love the way she is offering up the flower – just lovely!
Thank you, Mandy! Also, thanks for stopping by!
I love Mindy too, such a distinctive look. Love your take on her work Jill. Thanks for linking up to Show Your Face Inspired By and for the shout out too!
You need to be an illustrator, this picture will fit very well in some childish books.
