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.

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/

Photo interpretation by Neil Davidson. Charcoal. I love seeing what other artists do with the pictures I have posted. This is one of my favorites!

Block Printing at Bookbinding Class

We are learning to do block prints at bookbinding class. This is the result of two weeks work. The black only is what was left at the end of the process and is actually my favorite print. We did 4 colors and with each print, more of the block was carved away to attempt to get the desired result. It really made my brain cramp up. I believe it is a good exercise to keep alzheimer's at bay!

My fourth portrait for Julia Kay's Portrait Party. There are so many wonderful photos to choose. Initially, I had planned to start at one end of the posts and work my way through to the end. I didn't realize that they kept reordering themselves according to the most recent posts in each thread. So I have started letting my youngest pick who I will draw each day. Today she choose the lovely Ms. Mia Bia.

Portaits of Me by Other Artists

Here is the link to my post on Julia Kay's Portrait Party. It is great fun to see what all the other artists in the group do with your photos. Everyone in the group uploads photos of themselves and then you draw everyone but yourself and post the drawings in their original post. If you scroll down past the photos I posted you will be able to see what other artists have created. There is an amazing amount of talent in this group! I am grateful to be a part of it.

This is my second portrait for the portrait party group. I am trying to submit one per day. So far I have met that goal but it has only been 2 days!

Julia Kay's Portrait Party

Just joined Julia Kay's Portrait Party on Flickr last week and I'm loving it. Click on the title of this post to go and check out the group.

This is the first portrait I did for the group. This is Mr. Flibble. He has an amazingly expressive face and looks like a fantastic sense of humour to go with it. Check him out at: www.flickr.com/photos/flibble/

ATC Self Portrait Trade

I am trying to become an active member of the online art community again. So I'm reviving my blog. I was shocked to see that my last entry was in 2009. I thought it was only a few months ago. Time really flies when you are raising children! Recently I joined an ATC self-portrait trade. I have always been interested in portraits and self-portraits. I was surprised to find the work so challenging. Another indication that I have been "too long" away from what I consider to be a fundamental part of myself.
