Just completed this one for Juila Kay's Portrait Pary on Flickr. Background is random watercolor and the drawing is sharpie pens. I tend to make several watercolor backgrounds at a time with no plan of action and then I look for portraits to do that match the backgrounds. This one was quite a challenge just couldn't seem to get the eyes and mouth correct.

For Julia Kay's Portrait Party. (Link below.) Loved the hair in this photo and the lady was so cute. Can't tell that from this. I will definitely revisit this photo on a larger scale at some point. I would like to do her justice!

For Julia Kay's Portrait Party. A couple more ATC's and then I will be returning to my sketchbook and making these larger. I may even attempt a canvas or two!

Finally, back to Julia Kay's Portrait Party on Flickr. I have missed doing these portraits. I have set a goal for myself of 1 ATC a day, 1 portrait a week and one painted canvas a month. I wouldn't consider this a New Year's Resolution as I always fail at those. This is just a personal goal that I would like to achieve, permanently. So far I have one ATC a day, but have fallen behind for portraits. So for the next few days I will be doing 1 ATC Portrait a day. As far as canvases, I got as far as painting my 24 x 36 canvas black. So that will have to do for last month. Hopefully, by the end of this month it will contain a representation of one of my favorite collages "Dinner at Frida's." I have been wanting to turn it into a painting for a long time. If you want to take a peek at my collage, it can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mochatribe/389133292/in/set-72157594546773243/
