Tangled Portrait

I've only done the drawing part
on this piece. I still need to work 
on some shading. 

I love the sunflowers on her cheeks. 

Today I'll be working on my art journal.

I'm finding the process is getting 
easier and easier with each page. 


Wishing you a blessed day.

Folk Art Mixed Media No. 3

This piece started out with a cool
moon and starry sky behind her. 

I really liked it, but thought it needed something else.

It was missing an oomph of some sort. 

Well, one thing led to another and the background
I started out with has now vanished. 

I'm kind of sad that I didn't take a picture
at that earlier stage.  C'est la vie. 

It still doesn't have any type of top coat on it. 

I'm leery of the beeswax and I don't have any self
leveling gel, nor have I ever used it before.

I need to figure something out in that regard. 
Other than that, I call her finished. 

Now that number 3 is behind me, I can
say I'm learning not to take the process
too seriously. 

If I make a mistake or somehow ruin it, so what?!

I'll take note of what I learned from the mistake, put
it behind me, and move on!


Thanks for stopping by!
