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:
