Last night was actually rather lovely. I had to do some work after my son had gone to bed, but once finished, I was bursting with creativity and inspired by my earlier work I attacked old book pages and drew faces. I wonder if it was some subliminal uprising against writing. I'd been crafting words all day... clearly I needed some escape!
However, I WILL create today... It will just have to wait until evening. It's time to start work now, so must dash...
Join in the Art Every Day of November challenge here.
A date for your creative diaries... Tomorrow the wonderful Amy is hosting a live workshop. Well, I say evening because that's what it is here. It's 2pm CST (whatever that is!). Here in the UK we have the 'proper' time - GMT (I know, it's 'mean' but what can I say... some bloke in Greenwich decided he wanted to own it and so he did! We can't knock him for taking the initiative).
Today's/yesterday's piece is oil pastels, coloured pencil and acrylics on old book page.

This has such an exotic feel to it. Happy AEDM!
ReplyDeleteStay inspired!
It's lovely! There's something facinating about seeing words peeping out from behind a painting isn't there? Your creativity knows no bounds! :)

Absolutely stunning! I've been thinking of creating a collection of faces on book pages as well. :) I'm such a pioneer, I know! :))) See you at Amy's tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteShe is GORGEOUS- I love her pose and expression and the way the words shine through is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove the face on a book page! That's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you again for AEDM too!
Warmly,
Tracy
BEAUTIFUL work! You are amazing...thanks for the inspiring link to the Creative Every Day!
ReplyDeleteWonderful lights and shadows! They give her such a volume.
ReplyDeleteFor AEDM I create any time during the day, post in the evening and pre programme it for the following morning. I´m always showing the previous day´s work.
Oh she is lovely!!!! I laughed when I read your title - I had the same issue! I figure I will be a day behind all month : )
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. I look forward to your creations this month. So much fun to meet new people!
this is BEAUtiful. I LOVe the scarf - not because you had to put her in a scarf :) - you can actually do hair and ears :))
ReplyDeletemy portraits REQUIRE scarves :)

Very nice work. Love the pages idea...it adds so much mystery to it I think.
ReplyDeletevery beautiful. i also love the book pages behind the work and hope to explore that this month. it was nice to stop by today, happy AEDM!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful page and I am really liking these ladies... how nice would they look all together as a series!!
ReplyDeleteIf you think you are confused about the time, then you should try the Australia thingy... it makes my head hurt... because day 2 for all of you is day three for us... I think... darn need a cup of tea now xx
Superb, and very vibrant.
ReplyDeleteYou're not the only one who's creating one day and posting the next, or is that the other way around? :-s
I agree, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the portraits that you're doing on book pages - it seems so appropriate for you... The visual and language arts colliding!
ReplyDeleteI also think it's fantastic the way you have taken what you have learned from Lynne Hoppe's tutorial but totally made it your own - I can definitely see "Lisa" in these paintings... So cool!

I love it!! She has such warmth and character :)
ReplyDeleteShe is gorgeous, Lisa....she is so relaxed and with such a wise countenance...
ReplyDeleteShe looks like she flowed so easily from you! Truly beautiful!
I am loving these faces with the book text underneath! I love the idea of meaningful words and phrases peeking through, as in Ingrid--but this one is my favorite so far!
