29 Faces in February and Paint Party Friday

It's Friday!!! 
This has been one long week for me. I'm working more hours than I'm used to and the weather changes has not set well with my body. So my brain is lost somewhere out there in Fybro Fog land. 
I had to rely on another of Tam's  at Willowing Arts video's to get me going. 
So here's the spread inspired by one of YouTube video's 
#15 of 29 Faces 

Then I tried another sketch..It's supposed to be General George Custer. My husband is a big fan and has been bugging me to do a portrait. I'm hoping it looks better when I start painting it.  
Face #16 


Then there was the total bomb when I tried to do two on one page. I obviously need to work on open mouths and hands :) So here are 
#17 and #18 

 At this point I gave up on faces and decided to work on a journal page for Colour Me Positive....which I am behind in too :) 
This is the page for week #3 and I should be working on # 7 oops 
  I have become totally addicted to this coffee which I first got as a Christmas gift. I went to their website and after reading the story behind the coffee farm I was even more in love with it. They have other flavors too but I haven't tried them YET. I just keep buying this flavor. :) 
So that's it for me this week :) I have one more day of work and then 2 days off and I think I will sleep a lot those days. 
It's been super warm here this week... 70° today but super strong winds. 
The GoldFinch are starting to get their brighter yellow so maybe Spring is going to be early this year. 

I know the first photo is fuzzy but he's the brightest one so far so I wanted to show him. 
Just last week they were all still looking like this...
A little bit of warm sunshine makes a big difference :)

  10. Hello Dear Carol ~ I missed this while we were away for the weekend.
    Lovely to click on each photo for a closeup.
    Your beautiful girl surrounded by the chrysalis and other stages of the butterfly = OH MY so lovely!
    You are a talented artist. I struggle with females and have the feeling that drawing masculine images is even more challenging.
    Hope you are feeling well again. Flareups are never welcome. You do so much.
