It was a surprise when I ended up with a redhead wearing pink pearls. Sometimes my artwork has a mind of its own. In this case, that's exactly what happened.
And here is my lovely model Heather! She has such a beautiful profile. I'm so grateful to this wonderful young woman and her friends. Their ideas and friendship inspire me to be a better artist and photographer.
Here is yet another doodle from my sketchbook. It is called
The point of Her Sword.
Above you see my beautiful and expressive young friend Rena. Eventually the sword in the drawing will be adorned by the reflection of her face. I haven't quite figured out how to do it yet!
Have a lovely day and
Happy Paint Party Friday!
How clever and skillful you are with your drawings from life. If you didn't show the original, they could look like fantasy drawings, but we can see how well you have captured the likeness.
ReplyDeletei love how colors beg to show up on a page, that is a big part of the fun for me. Well the lines do that too. such a lovely piece Beth and lovely to have a glimpse into your sketch book.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely exquisite! I love the colored drawing. Her red hair looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely style. Love your artists license to paint pink pearls! I have no doubt you will figure out how to get that reflection in the sword!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying your style. I can hardly wait to see her face on the mirror. I love the red hair on the first one. Your artistic talents are awesome Beth. Thanks for stopping by my PPF post.

ReplyDeleteYour work is beautiful. I love not only what you paint but the words you use to describe what you are doing. The quote you had on the right side of your site is just what I needed to read today. "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It is learning to dance in the rain" Great reminder for what is happening this week.
ReplyDeleteHeathers Pearls is a beautiful piece, her lovely hair and white face so striking!
