29 Faces, Paint Party Friday & Butterfly Effect :0)

Just barely squeezing in under the line for 29 Faces in May :0) 

Ever since they have start the advertising for " Dark Shadow" I have wanted to paint  Johnny Depp as Barnabas. Since the theme for Butterfly effect this week is "Vampires" I just had to try painting Johnny. 

I didn't think I was going to have the energy to finish him due to my Fibromyalgia giving me problems this week....but I pushed myself to get it done so I can participate and finish the whole May challenge :0) 

So "HERES JOHNNY!!!!"

29 Faces in May faces 27 & 28

The last few days have been very hard for me....my fibromyalgia has kicked my butt to the ground and I have barely gotten these 2 faces done and probably won't be able to do face 29 before the month is over. 

All thing considered I'm very proud to have gotten tis many done. I knew going in that May was a busy month for me and that I usually end up down for the count before the month is over. 

I have enjoyed visiting all of the blogs I was able to get to through the month  even if I didn't have or take the time to comment. You are all talented and generous people.

Day 27 is a computer doodle sketch:

about all I had the energy for yesterday.

Day 28 is a graphite drawing I've been working on a little bit at a time for several days now.  I'm really pleased with the way it turned out.

I have another painting going but doubt that I'll be able to finish it today. Who knows...maybe I'll get a burst of energy later this evening :0)

29 Faces in May face 26

Not much energy here today so I just have a quick page in my journal. 

My daughter has been on my mind a lot today. She's off on another great adventure...this time under the African sun. She is in Kenya with a group from her university. As a mother I worry of course...but as a woman and artist I envy her the opportunity :0) I can't wait until she is home to share her stories and the hundreds of pictures I know she will be taking :0)

29 Faces in May days 24 & 25

Still running behind but not by far :0) 

Day 24 is an acrylic on  9 x 12 watercolor paper. 

So far I think she is my fav...at least for today.

Day 25 is a Mixed Media on 9 x 12 watercolor paper. 

it has some collage, texture , fabric ,acrylics and inks. It was a total play piece just to work with the texture medium . I used it on  the hair and on part of the background.

I spent hours playing with this one ...which is why I am still one day behind :0)

29 Faces in May day 20

Almost forgot to post this today....we have been so busy with our landscaping projects this weekend. Both of us have taken this week off to tackle some major projects so the rest of the week will probably be just quick sketches. 

Todays art is one of my favorite paintings so far. I will probably be redoing the background a bit but I love the face.
