Happy International Women's Day! Rough Sketch of a Big Eye Ukrainian Woman with Floral Flower Headdress....

 Happy International Women's Day!

For this day I'm sharing my daily rough sketch, it is of a big eyed Ukrainian woman with a floral headdress.   When I thought of International Women at this time, it is what I felt most compelled to sketch.

I feel at a loss to help the situation there, but https://twitter.com/colbertlateshow has some links to donate to Ukraine.

Happy Black History Month! Big Eye Original Garden Guardian Fairy Painting...

 

This big eyed garden guardian and I would like to wish you a Happy Black History Month.  

It's the tail end of Black History Month, but I'd still like to share this lovely maiden with you. I believe in the beauty of all skin tones.  I painted her for the Diversity and Inclusion: The Influence of African-American Art in Southern California at the Ontario Museum of Art Exhibit.  When I did a little research, I found that it was traditional in Black History to put blue bottles in the garden to protect it.  I decided I wanted to paint one of my garden guardians for the show with a blue orchid as a connection to the protection of the blue bottles.

Marigold Flowers Sketch Art + Dragon Website Update...

Here is a sketch of some marigolds on canvas.  I started sketching for this in October and then put it aside for a while.  At this point I only have the sketch on canvas.  I've also painted the edges, I tend to do that before I start painting on the canvas as I don't want to risk getting the edge paint on to the painting itself.  As you can see, I tend to get paint over the edges, but I can fix that when I paint the background...

29 Faces Challenge in September All Together Now & Big Eye Fairy Angel Sketch Face 30

Twice a year, Ayala Art hosts the 29 faces challenge in February and then again in September. For 29 Faces, the challenge is to share 29 faces during the given month. Last year I participated once for the first time, this year I participated both times.  I met some of my goals for the challenge and didn't meet others, but it was definitely a challenge I enjoyed.  I wanted to sketch 29 faces, so while at the start I shared a painting I had finished the day before, today in addition to the complete group, I also have one additional sketch.  So for me this time I managed 29 sketches of faces...  The challenge was very inspiring!

This is face 30 for the challenge, but sketch 29...  She is a big eye fairy angel or possibly mermaid sketch.
