Self~Portraits

I L*O*V*E this painting!

**

It is Holly's self~portrait.

She did it this summer (2009).

She wanted to do something to put

on business cards to give out at

Faerieworlds.

The cards are so cute!!

Can you tell I am a proud Mama?

No one ever took an interest in me as a child,

encouraged my interests or helped me

advance in anything.

I believe you should cheer your kids on

and help them discover all

they can be!

This is a self~portrait I did years ago.

I need to do a new one.

This one does represent me still....

Gotta have my cuppa tea!

(has to do with living in a cold climate)

This is a quick pencil sketch I

did of Holly a couple of years ago.

She is growing her hair out now, but it used

to be styled in a cute pixie cut.

(I liked it better that way, but don't tell Holly!)

Do I feel like painting or sculpting?

To paint....or sculpt??

I LOVE to paint.

I don't very often and I

miss it.

This is "Merlaina"

She is a guardian faerie

This is "Valeda"

I see her in my minds eye a lot.

I think she is wanting me to sculpt her...

Problem is...

I am not much of a sculptor.

I am just a beginner.

I don't feel like I could truly create her

as she should be.

I guess it just takes practice....

I do love the whole process of sculpting.

Especially since taking

Wendy Froud's

workshop.

This is "Aggie's Dragon"

I need to learn to give my

paintings more depth...this one

looks too flat!!

I love to paint profiles

For a while, everyone got

painted with their cuppa tea.

Even the kitties.

I love to paint cats!

This is an early one.

Did some silly cards..

Skiing anyone??

Jesse and his beloved Felix

We lost Fee to fip disease at only 1 year old.

He was a little scamp!

Then I went thru a moon phase..

(Pun intended, hehee!)

Whimsical

Yeah, I am a conservationist....

A tree hugger and proud of it!

Doodle whale

I guess I will go make a cuppa tea and

see what supplies jump out

at me.....
