painting portraits.










































Hola everyone...thanks for stopping by today...I know I haven't been around much recently...Art Camp has been keeping me SUPER busy!
I promise to try and post some stories of our Art Camp weeks very soon...I've been surrounded by singers,jokers and great budding artists.
Tomorrow is "ALL ABOUT me Day!

In the mean time...here's a my NIGHT portrait...only because I can only work during the night...so not to run into Camp hours.

Until then...
Hugs

today is the day...

when I deliver those two pastel portraits I finished this week...my stomach is upside down with a wee bit of worry...just a wee bit...Portraits are very personal, especially to a Mum who knows her kids faces and all their quirkinesses(word? not sure).
So....I believe there's nothing better than a "snort" of fresh air(as my friend D would say...) to calm nerves...so off we went.
They're going to be made into Jam...so if they're not ALL pretty...it's o.k.
I'm just content our girls love helping their Mummy.

There seemed to be a lot of inspecting going on before that stawberry was popped in her mouth...
and after half an hour...which really is their limit to most things....they were done, or at least our girls were...little W seemed to be able to pick-pick-pick...
ah, but there was the distraction of the duck which flew in and landed right beside the patch...not shy at all...perhaps he was after a few berries too.

Have a fantastic FRIDAY, and I will surely be back to tell you the out-come of the "Delivery"...

What's been on my mind recently...this week:
where is my Art Career going?
In which direction should I push it?
Should I stick to the fine ARts and work towards becoming a better more recognised Portrait Artist?
OR should I conintue on the path of illustration?
OR CAN I do both?
All taking into consideration that a family has to eat!

I have never advertised...where do I start?

Leaving you with that thought...I better get boogying.

P.S. The illustration is a snippet of a page for the book with Shelly.(must paint more this weekend!!)

PORTRAITS in Pastel


hello everyone...so lovely of you to pass by...I was going to show you pics of this weekend...BUT...I just finished these two portraits so you get to see these FIRST before the owner of them!
I haven't worked in pastels ...um,since 1997...I have had these GORGEOUS patels since my 18th birthday...they have travelled to Spain and back to the Uk...then over here to Canada with me...they are treasures to me...they connect me to create what I love to do.

I am now off to see what you have been up to...
Have a wonderful week.(if you don't come back to visit)
I will be back with weekend pics, and show you how these 2 look framed.

HUGS,
Char.x.
