Basket head. . .

the best plan was to walk a mile every day carrying a basket upon your head

Not sure about the basket part but I'm pretty confident that walking a mile every day would be a good plan!  This girl started as a coffee stain made in an art journal with my morning "cup of joe".  Does that mean that I put my paint brush into my actual mug of coffee?  Why yes it does.

The only downside to that was there was less coffee to drink - sometimes that one swig can make a big difference.  Am I right?

Yellow Ochre!

"The mind is like a parachute,

it doesn't work unless you open it."

             -  Frank Zappa

Another girl that was drawn in the car - All the males in my family hate her even though I remind them to open their minds and look beyond the thick neck and all the yellow ochre.  Personally, I think the world would benefit from more yellow ochre - what do you think??

Watercoloring in the car. . .

Sketched and watercolored these girls in the car yesterday - at one point the road seemed extra bumpy so I looked up and saw this - 

construction!  Can't blame that on my husband's driving, LOL! 

Not sure what to think of these gals - very different from what I normally do - maybe she is a mom with her two daughters. . .

The Deipnosophist

"Despite her tendency to fade into the background, chatty fellow diners were delighted to discover that she was quite the deipnosophist." 

Debated for a while about whether or not to add the white and I am so happy that I did!  Adds such dimension and depth.
