Two Best Friends...PPF

Well...in my goal to give many of my pieces away, I have been going quite well! It was my nieces birthday on monday and i got quite busy. This is a larger canvas, it needed to be to fit the two of them on. I must say it doesn't look like them, but at no point did i try to make them look correct...always representations...but...it made me think i would like to paint  picture, a portrait and make it realistic...sort of!!!. I will see how that goal goes....

So, this piece was made with a layer of tissue paper...pink with tiny dots, then gesso and then i used graphite pencil, acrylics and water suluable wax crayons...it's about 17 by 11 ish inches..so, yep...theres another give away...i am going well...2 already and i have 3 almost finished,,,yay!!!

one shot shows terrible lighting, the other i just clicked auto enhance on my photo editor...

thanks so much for all the wonderful comments,,,some of you thought esthers prize i won was my art...oops...i was going to put joannas prize i won but it will have to be another post...sorry joanna...i would hate to get credit for your beautiful work...

i am linking this to PAINT PARTY FRIDAY...the loveliest and amazingly talented group oif artists...love checking your work ...

PPF and achieving my aim...

Last week I decided that a big goal for this year was to give away more of my attempts of getting my art on....i am in the process of making 4 pieces for friends and family...
this is the photo of one almost done...the colour is a bit brighter in this photo maybe.

It has lots of layers of stuff...maybe a bit too much...lol..but i am learning...ha ha ha...it says...you make me happy, when skies are grey....

I am linking this to PPF...

I would also love to give a big huge cyber hug to Esther ..i was such a lucky girl to have won a competition she had running...honestly, i have loved E.s work from the word go...i call her E and also the queen of texture....go check her out, she is an inspiration, and a gorgeous girl to boot!!!Thanks E...xxx

Until next time
