Funny how she sat so comfortably on the page last night but then this morning her eyes are too big and slightly out of place, and the mouth in her reflection is terribly wonky! (That'll be the wine I suppose, plus drawing while having half an eye on the X-Factor didn't help!). Thank goodness for the forgiving properties of acrylics which are going on next!
I'm going to let the Muse dictate where she goes (though dressed as she is, I suspect it may be to a party!).
I've been feeling the need for a little external self-repair too. Lately I just seem to busy to pay much attention to myself, so the last few days have attempted to redress the balance. Hair styling, a glamorous make-over at a Mary Kay party (including some special treat purchases) and a bit of pampering are definitely in order. Special thanks to my friend Tina for managing to organise this as precisely the moment it was needed!
Well, I'm off to get dressed now and play with my new make up.

I wouldn't mind some pampering myself. :) You don't need acrylics just some more wine and the painting will look just fine again. :)
ReplyDeleteAudrey is a very beautiful starting point:)
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your treats.
It is important to take time for oneself!

She is lovely ~ off to a great start ~ We are our own worse critics ~ am glad you are 'taking care of you'. thanks, namaste, Carol ^_^
ReplyDeleteShe's lovely, I'm always shocked when you tell us your critical 'next day' thoughts as it were, your creations are always beautiful to us. I know, I know, just a couple more blogs then I'll get working on that novel lol or may be a just a few more x
ReplyDeleteHoly Crap Lisa!
ReplyDeleteI have been hoosming through your blog...catching up on all I have missed.
Mara is incredible!!!
And your harlequin pieces...wow!
I can totally relate to taking on more than I think I can do...I am forever kicking myself for the strress I add to my own life. But in the end it almost always works out and I pat myself on the back.
If anyone needs a make-over it has to be me. I am beginning to look homeless.
♥♥♥
I love her eyes.
ReplyDeleteAhh to be pampered!!! Enjoy!
Great start on the colour and shade Lisa...and way to go on the pampering!
ReplyDeleteShe's super beautiful..lovely soul

Ooo, looking forward to seeing where this goes. Isn't Audrey Tatou simply gorgeous? Great to see work in progress too.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can tell this one is going to be wonderful. Love the idea of the reflection! Can't wait to see the finished piece!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing how this turns out.. I love how everything looks wonderful after a glass of wine... keep up with the pampering...I could do with some...I moved a ton of rock today, so have builders hands... yuck, will buy some gloves I think..
ReplyDeleteWell, your muse is definitely working as I'm loving this piece already. The emotion on her face is amazing. Keep it up, Lisa. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy SS. Hugs
I'm having some VERY weird issues with blogger. I don't see my comment so leaving another one...
ReplyDeleteI think your muse is leading you in a wonderful direction right now and can't wait to see this finished. The expression on her face is amazing, Lisa.
Happy SS! :)
It's a great idea to start with drawing paper, it motivates you to lead yourself to do better. Your muse is going into a great direction, so far all the details are being revealed. Do all you can to always polish your talent :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous beginning! will be fun to see where you take her. wishing you fun with this piece and your new look.
ReplyDeletelove where this is going and so relieved that I'm not the only one who thinks their work is great with wine goggles on only to find it not quite as satisfactory in the cold hard state of the morning.... quick question what sort of wine induced the naked George Clooney dream... need to pop out and buy me some of that!!!
ReplyDeleteyou're doing a great job with a very challenging sketch! I'm looking forward to the layer of paint!
ReplyDeleteShe is already a beauty.
ReplyDeleteAll artwork looks better with wine - especially mine ;)
ReplyDeleteI think you've done a great job so far, look forward to seeing where your muse takes you.
The artwork is off to a wonderful start. I look foward to watching it progress. Xx
ReplyDeleteI like her! She's gonna be a knock out! Do you feel better now that you've pampered yourself? Sometimes we just forgot we are important...I do it all the time!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Margo
Loving this already! Excited to see her finished! Hope you enjoy pampering yourself!! Makeup is always fun! :)
ReplyDeleteLisa...thanks for visiting my blog. Your work is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI see lots of promise in her! I think she will be a stunning "proper" painting. I thought all paintings were proper; I'm wondering if that's what's wrong with some of mine. lol. Off to ponder.
ReplyDeleteOh, you must be watching the British version of the X-Factor while I am watching the US version. On different nights though. I'm hooked. I like it even better than Idol. I admit I am a reality show junkie. Is that pathetic?
Audrey is a stunning model--she has eyes like a deer. I can't wait to see where it goes!
