The Muse did not care that the colour scheme for this week was entitled Wild & Reckless. Don't get me wrong, she loved the colours. She just did not care for crazy abandon.
The Muse allowed me to pick a name for this girl, so I chose Wendy. The Muse changed her mind and picked Grace.
Who am I to argue with the Muse?
It's the Summer of Ice Cream Colour week 5.
Mixed media on watercolour paper. I layered up some hearts using a stencil and a stamp. I splatted with watercolour and acrylic. I collaged some old book pages, then drew Wendy/Grace with charcoal and picked out her features in acrylic.

Oh Lisa, you draw SO well. This is impressive. I thought these were great colors and I think your muse did, too.
ReplyDeleteJust read your comment on my blog and YES, I am up at 3:00 AM!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful drawing, love how it melts into the colours. BJ
ReplyDeleteI am liking Wendy/Grace very much :D...and one description for the name Wendy is white phantom/shadow, which suits your image beautifully :D http://www.wendy.com/wendyweb/history.html
ReplyDeletewhile the name Grace could be describing her demeanour, graceful not wild and abandoned :D XXX
Your wild'n reckless girl is wonderful..Love the way she blends beautifully into the background.

Love it, the design itself is beautiful and the then the colors are contemplative and emotional. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you paint on old book pages. It works so well, as with this identity-challenged lady. I really treasure the painting on an old book page you sent me, so if (in my post-op self-absorption) I have forgotten to thanks you, I say now, THANK YOU. And what is your next e-course about and when?
ReplyDeleteI love the power of this one!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I love that you listen to your muse so completely, ha! Love her moody and soft expression too - wonderful! Lisa, Rec'd your comunication... It's up! Jessi xox
ReplyDeleteWhether named Wendy or Grace, she's beautiful! You've got an amazing muse.
ReplyDeleteBtw, thanks for letting me know my Sunday Sketches link was wrong or I would have been sad I didn't get more comments when I signed back on this morning. I was rushing to get off the computer so Ogre didn't feel neglected on his one day off from work. ;D
Beautiful! I love the contrast of the wild colors with her subdued face - it makes me really wonder what's going on in her head...
ReplyDeleteI think she reflects the colours perfectly... I kind of see them as more muted than the name suggested... maybe the name is more about what your behaviour becomes rather after yo eat it...xx
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful Lisa... so deep and expressive... just watching her, she draws you on a journey within... there is something very powerful about her...

She looks so lost in her own thoughts...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteShe's wonderful, great thoughtful expression.
ReplyDeleteWendy/Grace choses to show us only one face this week LOL She has attitude at least!
ReplyDeleteI think that she fits the colors perfectly. She is a beauty even with her moodiness.
ReplyDeleteYou can't argue with the muse - she always knows best!
ReplyDeleteGreat piece.

Hope your Muse is going to be all jolly next week :). Grace is beautiful and I must say, mysterious!. Great work!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! I popped in for a "quick" visit, but 45 minutes later, I was still enjoying myself :D
ReplyDeleteThat huge canvas is gorgeous!
I have to quit procrastinating though, there is painting to be done...walls, not art, but that can be enjoyable too. ♥Love♥ Lisa
I think she's beautiful!
