I've been on kind of a whimsical style kick lately, so I've been looking up different whimsy faces. I decided to give it a try...with my own twist of course. Here's how it turned out. I can spot a LOT wrong with it, however, I had tons of fun. Overall I think I like it, but we'll see what I think when I look back tomorrow.

Watercolors & Sharpie markers
I don't know who this quote came from, but I love it! It couldn't be more true. "The most precious jewels you'll ever have around your neck are the arms of your children." Acrylic on canvas.
Inspired my my love for my family. At this time, it was just Me, Phillip, and our 2 dogs, Samantha and layla. Samantha has since passed, and we have another dog, Daisy, a son, 16 month old noah, and I'm 36 weeks pregnant with a little girl, baby kinley rose. This feels like a different lifetime, and it was only a few years ago. Sharpie markers on sketch pad.
I thought this would be fun to try. I love tea, and tea pots, and have recently stumbled upon "tangling" as a "thing." It's relaxing, like tea, and this was a fun picture to draw. My son's first word was "bird" and every time he saw one, he excitedly yelled "BIRD."
On his first thanksgiving, about a month before his first birthday, I bought a sketch book/journal for us to share. I'd colored with him a few times, and created an art monster out if him. He loves books as much as coloring, so why not combine the two. Plus, this way, we can look back at fun memories and read/look at things before and after our art sessions. Markers
Sometimes if I attempt a face, it ruins the whole thing lol. Occasionally, I leave the face blank, and I'm glad I did here. I like the background and her little hat headband. :) This beach access sign on the fence image was actually a photo I took on our "cousin trip" in 2013. I'm the oldest of 17 cousins on my mom's side. 3 of us and our significant others met in Gulf Shores. I came from Georgia, one cousin came from texas, and one came from Florida.
I don't know why I decided to make the "post card" of Florida, and not gulf shores Alabama, but hey, that's the beauty of art I guess. :) Markers
I love owl images, and this one was a lot of fun. I think the bow & eyes make her really adorable. The purpose of this image was a pop of color. Although I do love the colors of the bird, I think the birdcage is my favorite part.
Another inspiration prompt from embrace your art daily Facebook group was #7 "Zentangle."
At this point, this image was by far my most intricate zentangle picture. I have always loved elephants, with their trunks up, so I thought it would be a perfect outline for this prompt. |
