Waiting....

From an art site I belong to ..Host had ole picture

of his great great grandma. He

wanted us to color her up a bit.

I totally changed the mood of the photo.

In the photo she had a black dress with

white frilly front, and sitting down.

She had a very long tragic life,

and four husbands!!!

How to Make an Ancient Relief

Here's a video from a great artist in the Netherland Carla VanDenBerg. It inspired me a great deal and tried her technique. She demonstrated on how to do an ancient relief.

DAY 11:Sweet Innocence

Sweet Innocence was created mostly in photoshop.

DAY:3

Today I decorated my journal cover as part of Day 3 journal entry for January.
Gessoed part of the cover, and drew a figure. This was based on a photo
I took while walking around the Farmer's Market . It's a favorite spot of mine.
Some of the performing artists are musicians and mime. This woman was
painted in gold from head to toe, and she looked like a statue. I used
different colors to give her more life
