Here's a pretty retro dancer with pink flowers in her hair. I used one of the faces I painted in the 29 Faces challenge--might as well put them to good use, right? Still took a whole though I'm not sure what took longer - painting her face or the rose!
I did something way out of my norm this weekend. I made mixed media cityscapes! Normally, I love creating mixed media art but I don't usually create cutesy whimsical things. This weekend I did! I run the Daily Drawing Group (in the Art Discussions forum if you're a member) over on ATCsforAll.com and I have to come up with challenges each week so thought a whimsical landscape challenge would be interesting. Only I ended up making whimsical cities for some reason. But there are hills, and trees! And clouds. That counts I think. The pieces are both 5" x 7". Tons of fun to make.
I love these little townscapes, with the lollipop trees and cool colours. It would be nice if we had fun towns like these! Valerie

The landscapes are super adorable! And those roses - wow. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteyou're so creative and talented! Roses are hard to do. Love your whimsical cityscapes.
ReplyDeleteI love your girl! The roses are fantastic and her eyes are so beautiful! Your whimsical cityscapes are so pretty and lots of fun to look at.
ReplyDeleteYour girl is gorgeous with the roses in her hair... and I love the city-landscapes!
ReplyDeleteI remembered the over-the-shoulder pose of the lovely lady from 29 Faces, but not the colouring or the roses, so I just checked back, and see that you have worked on her quite a bit since then. The roses are gorgeous and I love the blue outline around her, just lovely. The hilly city-scapes are great fun.
ReplyDeleteWow, she's beautiful! Love the teasing look on her face. Is this "real" paint or is it digital art? Love that swirly background too! and your mixed media cityskapes are sooo cute :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a digital painting with wacom and pen so real painting! Just not with traditional materials :)
DeleteYour cities are very cute and whimsical. I cannot tell you which one I like the most: they work great as a dypctich. As for the roses...I see what you meant! I hope mine will turn out half as pretty as yours! ;)
ReplyDeletewonderful ATCs and the girl is awesome..I love that her dress goes so wonderful with the background...
ReplyDelete..
my daughter owns a good wacom tablet..but I didn't try this yet...
what grandios use with the tablet...my gosh!
Wonderful portrait, I love also the colorful whimsical city scenes very much.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day,
big hugs Anja
Oh my gosh, the whimsical cities! Wonderfully cool. I particularly like the one in reds. Aaah, I totally have to do a cityscapes deco and send it to you. Of course, that involves actually making one, which I have not yet managed to do. In fact, I've only done a few unsatisfactory ATCS the last couple days. Arrrgh!
