Art Every Day Month --- Day 18

Day # 18 
WOW!!!
The month is zipping by already :) 
Today I woke up with a horrible sinus migraine...called off work...took lots of drugs and went back to bed. Woke up feeling jet lagged and out of sorts but headache was pretty much gone. 
I had already sprayed the background of these pages and pretty much knew I wanted to use a bird stencil I had....but was drawing a blank on everything else. Decided to just go ahead and start stenciling and see what happened. As I painted the  song 
"Dream a Little Dream of Me"  started going through my head. So I flipped over to Youtube and played the Mama Cass  version of the song....over and over. Then I knew what I wanted to do. 
I penciled in the basic face with a 'Conto' white pastel pencil....


Then painted her.... still felt it wasn't finished yet so I added highlights to her hair and put lined her flower hairpiece with gel pens .
I may go back and out line the birds with gel pens too....still thinking on that one.


Thoughts for the day...

  1. I knew I'd be late getting here, but this is ridiculous. Sorry. I love that bird stencil. You did a fabulous job on the face and flowers, too.

    Sorry to read that you had a migraine. I understand those can be devastating and sometimes last for days. Glad yours was over by the afternoon. Feel better soon, dear.
