I swore I'd never draw or paint again but being on hold with Comcast (shaking head) I sketched out a few faces. It is time for another change. Hubby who just is a 'wood master' has rendered my drawings out of wood that can be up to 6 layers. He is phenomenal! Now this weekend we are going to make body prototypes probably 2 as some heads are so much larger but we WANT them simple & when anyone sees them they KNOW we made them! No doubt about it! So a work in progress but a fun one. Hugs.

OMG I LOVE these!!! LOVE LOVE!!!! Are you gonna list them in your esty shop? These are FABULOUS!!!! xo Michele
Keri, your home and your artwork totally rock, and so do you! Cheers!
Why did you swear to never paint or draw again?
Thanks Michelle! I will list them once we have them made honey. My found art took me away from the "Wall Dancers" & after 1400 I understand why! With my Lyme I have no clue what world I'm in! So this will be fun as I work on my found object art too. When they are done, would you consider a trade? LOVE your work girlfriend. Hugs & kisses.
Thanks Mona! You are just a sweetheart & I am glad our paths crossed honey. Hugs! <3
Ok darling here is my story. I had 2 scholarships 1 to the Art Institute here in Illinois & to Berkeley. But I wanted the American Academy here for illustration. Shhhhhhh I am a trained illustrator. I lived my art & loved it. SO PASSIONATE! After being married 12 years where I did not work I was widowed in '87. The kids were 9 & 4 I was 31. I went back to work as a Senior Designer. I LOVED THE DRAWING BOARD! Still was passionate. Once the computers came in I felt like a secretary & because I was good & fast the workload they gave me (Lysol was 1 account) I just BURNED OUT & never wanted to do it again after 15 in the fast line of art. So these sketches of the faces have been my first in 13 years. I will attach amy last drawing. I was sitting in my office when Frank Zappa passed so I sketched out his portrait. I'll go find Frank! All my other artwork my kids have. Hugs & kisses girlfriend.
These faces are so inspiring. The colors, the designs, how they are expressed are exceptionally engaging.
Thank you honey. I think they will continue to get wilder & better as these are in the 'infant' stage. But I should have 2 more done by tomorrow. Hugs,
Keri
