Echoes of Yesteryear



Happy Friday! Time is going by so fast.

 I am sharing past portraits with you today. 
I feel it is important to reflect on past artwork and also to find gratitude within ourselves and appreciate our creativity.

Sometimes creativity can be thoughts and creative reflections of our past artwork, 
this process helps me find more inspiration and direction for my next pieces. 

Linking up today with Friday Face Off hosted by the lovely Nicole and Art For Fun Friday hosted by the lovely Gillena. 

Thank you so much!




 















Thank you all for your comments and kindness. Have a lovely weekend!

  5. Oh, wow! I love all your portraits. I love your bold use of color, especially in the first one with the long black hair, the one with the dymo label maker word "inspire", and the William Shakespeare page with all the wording in the background. Blessings, my friend!

  6. These faces are fantastic Maria. I love the variety and the different styles you used to make them. That first one was hard to take my eyes off of. She had me practically hypnotized. :) Hope your first week of August went well. Happy Friday. hugs-Erika

  7. OMGosh! So many fabulous faces. I agree looking at old art pieces shows how fare we have come and gives us an idea of where we are going. I truly do love all of these. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a wonderful weekend.

  8. Wow, that's a lot of portraits! That's a year's worth of Friday Face Offs!
    Your portraits are lovely though. Very beautiful each one of them. Are they in chronological order?
    Happy Friday,
