Keep Calm and Stay Fearless

Love this saying!  She is fearless.  This art is so incredibly fun.

Girl With a Gun and other obsessions

I once had a boss that would put a brochure in my mailbox at work for a training in New Mexico called "Art and Mental Illness."  This training was held every year, and every year I worked for him, he would put it in my mailbox. He had an interesting/odd sense of humor and it was sort of an unspoken joke between us, because I never asked him why he did that; mostly because I think I was afraid that he thought I was mentally ill!  Now that I am pretty sure that my intense urge to create things has some element of craziness, I am no longer fearful to know his intent.  I know.
 Girl With a Gun.  She surprised me because she looks so much like one of the girls that I supervise at work.  I draw the faces with no intention of a certain person, but they end up looking like people that I see every day.  As the painting develops, it feels like opening presents on Christmas morning.

Steampunk Girl 1


So, Em and I were talking about Steampunk and doing face art and then I was inspired...I think this one will end up with my daughter rather than on Etsy.

I like how this one turned out!  I named her "Emily Dragonfly," because she looks like my niece, Emily Grace.  :)

From blogging to selling, I waste no time!  Some of the face paintings are for sale on Etsy:

She looks like a Virginia.  Maybe a Ginny.  I have a cousin named Ginny and I think this girl reminds me of her. 
She is kind of intense.  I think this makes her more interesting.  She reminds me of someone but I can't put my finger on it.
I like the bird and the dragonfly in this one, she looks like a Christine.
I love how you do this art.  You paint a background and then you add the face, and you don't really plan what the face will look like so its a surprise every time.  And then you add all sorts of stuff around the face until it looks right.  :)
