Trying something new
I have been wanting to paint some new faces for awhile now and while I loved what I learned in Suzi Blu's class, I am really a lover of a more imperfect, edgier, more raw type of art. I recently discovered a blog written by a woman of color and I loved the idea of doing some paintings of women of color myself, so here's what I have played with the last two nights. I think I have a long way to go in the pursuit, but I love seeing these faces looking back at me when I wander into the room. As primitive as they look, they are not quite edgy enough for me, but I will continue to work on it. I am happy to have my hands back into my art supplies!

Hi ..I saw your comment on Mystele's. Isn't she great! I love your paintings too.. Good Work!

My comments keep disappearing. I love your art. Found you on Mystele's page. You are the only other person that I have found who has read "Quiet Talks with the Master. I read that little book every day. Love it.
Thanks you for visiting my blog. I have had the book for over 20 years. Found it at a flea market. I would find it for a time, then forget about it for a while. But for the last couple of years I have read it on a daily basis, maybe even read the same passage for a couple of days. Nice meeting you. Yes, I do love Mystele's work also.

I love these new pieces - just beautiful! I can envision a line of art dolls with these faces in your future...
Thank you so much for sharing them!

Hi Deborah, I really like your "women of color" drawings! Glad you're feeling better and back creating art again! I've missed seeing you at Sally's.

Your readers are here! I am just so amazed that your faces go so many different places.
Still waiting to see the ones that are you moleskine on your blog.
