One Hundred Faces Project

i took the challenge

and so far, she's my pride and joy 

one hundred faces

so far so good

i'm trying to make them all as different as possible and using different mediums

most are frontal views since i am lousy at profiles 

it has taught me alot about myself and what i am capable of given a challenge

My favorite medium so far is the layering  of gesso and plain pencil for a scratchy look

which i used again in this painting of a simple vase

and then there are the inks

and the simplicity of sketching

more pencil

but here i am bragging about my faces when you should see some of the others my challengers are creating 

starting with my favorite by Robin Laws

Susan Buchanan

Jeanne Marie Webb

amazing huh?

60 more to go or so, yikes.

November

and that season begins

a time for gathering, for thankfullness, for 

warm toes and frosty noses, for hearty soups and sweet smelling pies, for fireside chats and poking logs, and finding hidden faces in the shadows. for coats and crispy cruchy leafs afoot, for cinnamon scented packages and garlands on the mantle

one of my favorite seasons in spite of lesser daylight. 

the colors

the bounty

the rituals
