Our oldest graduates from high school a week from today - where did the time go?? I'm not going to say it seems like yesterday that we brought him home but I will admit that the years have certainly gone more quickly than I expected. In the meantime, I'm in a frenzy of activity to prepare for family arriving and graduation parties to commence.
This girl looks calm and contented and that's what I am going to aim for during this busy time.

Great painting but your quote is phenomenal. I am going to remember that one.

Your face is beautiful, wonderful quote. Congrats to the lucky graduate.
Just gorgeous! Thanks for giving us a peak at an early stage too. Love the sentiment. Have fun with the graduation! Thanks so much for linking to Art It Friday - Show Your Face and for the shout out too.
I hope you felt the calmness your girl radiates, whist creating her. A beautiful face x

congrats to the graduate-what an exciting time! LOVE your calm girl-fab shading on her face-and that quote-love it!
Hi Michelle,
wow oh wow - she is so very beautiful, most definitely serene and laid back too. I envy your skill with paint and brush - I'm only just starting out and this week I've graduated to watercolour pencils after just using pencils.
I just wanted to pop over and say thank you - I've not long been drawing my 'lovely ladies' and any compliments are always very treasured and very much appreciated so thank you very much. I have had a good look at your beautiful ladies and they are fantastic! Especially love how you've coloured this one's hair - I'm going to have to practise to get anywhere near your skills. Thank you so much and ttfn Karen x
Fabulous shadowing, it's so pretty. And a very true sentiment.
Love and hugs

She's beautiful! Happy PPF - Irma
She's lovely. I love the halo line around her. Sweet quote too.
That quote is great, and I love your girl. Serene, calm and lovely. I love how you did the shadows!
So beautiful! The quote is something I will have to remember…so true. Your painting looks so serene and peaceful. Hope you can keep that sense as you have a busy time ahead.
i love this one. It has a different 'feel' to it, but still so "you". :) Wise words, my friend. xx
