Happy September! Friday Face Off ART

 

Autumn has arrived early

I really enjoy the change of colours

I count my blessings and try to be grateful for each day



Currently trying to read more.
My brain jumps to so many thoughts it's making my reading harder. 
I sit trying to read and my thoughts and brain start saying
"try this! don't forget that! make dinner! clean the house! pick up the mail!" 
lol It's all good, I will keep on going and hopefully be able to deeply dive into the storyline. 


We don't eat out often so last weekend we went to Wimpy's and I had the turkey bacon sandwich. 
It was incredible. Absolutely loved going out. 






This is for Nicole's "Friday Face Off"

I used markers for this face and also pastels and some paint as well. 

I didn't measure the face, I just went with the flow. 

I enjoy drawing faces and I use to do it more often. 

Thank you Nicole for hosting this art party. 


This was a quick sketch 


another quick sketch


Last Year I painted this lovely face



Thank you all for visiting and for your wonderful comments. I appreciate you all!

I make a lot of art shorts on Youtube and this is my recent journal collage

I really love paper and glue. 

Maybe I will start working on a face and add paper to the faces! 

Off I go to create!

Hope you are all well my friends!

Much love, light and good health!

Love, 

Maria

  2. ...E. C. Segar's character Wimpy would say, "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!" Have a Spectacular September.

  4. What a wonderful blog post. LOVE your faces. I checked out your YouTube channel and I see you have a cat. Seems we have a lot in common, except I can't draw. I do love mixed media, though. I hope to see more of you, other than at FFO.

  5. Ohhhh I just love your face art. Each one so different and so my character. Whimpy's looks like a great place to eat. I haven't had a french fry in years. I haven't read a book in years either. My eyes are not good enough to read. I do listen to books once in a while. Thank you for joining FFO and have a lovely weekend.

  7. Hi Maria, your faces are lovely! I especially like the sketch with the birthday hat. She has real personality! Mysteries are my favorite reading genre -- that looks like a good one. Thanks for coming by my blog too. Now following you.

  8. Your blog header is stunning, Maria. So atmospheric and prefect for autumn (my favorite season). Your faces are lovely as well - I never measure, that's why most of the faces I attempt to draw or paint turn out wonky. Have a lovely weekend!
