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.  🙂  This week my artist of inspiration is Tiffany Hiller.  She is a regular poster to Kim Dellow’s blog on Fridays and I wanted to try a face like hers.  Unfortunately I didn’t really do too good of a job trying to mimic her style quickly in my hotel room on a tag I had a background on already.  Sorry Tiffany!  🙂  But that’s ok.  I had fun trying and there are still things l like about it even if it didn’t exactly turn out how I had planned!

I want to get better at sketching portraits so this is a good challenge for me to take to improve that skill.  I am traveling again and am pressed for time to do ANY kind of art. All you peeps at home with all of your supplies in a comfortable setting, be thankful for the awesome places you have to make art AT HOME.  It is so much better than attempting to “make do” in other surroundings.

Here is this week’s “face” for my post:
