PET JOURNAL FOR PPF

Paint Party Friday contributions by EAGHL.  This is a new sketch journal starting out with dogs and will include other animals as I progress.  Or it might just be all dogs because I LOVE DOGGIES:-)

My girl Slim for the cover page. Curled up in the pillows on my bed.

MIXED MEDIA FUN

These are for Paint Party Friday.  The first is one that I drew for JKPP (Julia Kay Portrait Party) and the second one is my self portrait.  I am enjoying doing a pencil sketch, then a marker outline before scanning and then coloring on the computer.  If you enjoy portraits you should apply for acceptance in the JKPP on Flickr.  Let me know if you would like an invite. It is another great way to meet artists from all around the world.

Only members of JKPP can view the original photograph of this subject but I came pretty close to his likeness.

 

This is my self portrait so I can share the photograph of me. Just wish my eyes were really that green and my hair that color of red.

EGG-STRA, EGG-STRA READ ALL ABOUT IT!!

PAINT PARTY FRIDAY AGAIN....

I raise chicken for their eggs and  so I have lots to work with.  I love to  blow out the eggs and then sketch, color with markers and spray with lacquer. The one in the forefront is what I am working on now.  It is a drawing of my daughter.  These are fun to make and use for place markers at a dinner or luncheon. Plastic bottle caps make good stands for these. 

I am a folk artist so this is not the kind of egg art you usually see.  While my Marakering eggs by EAGHL are primitive, my daughter makes gorgeous Pysanky eggs as well as carved Emu and/or Ostrich eggs. Still mine have their own audience. If you would like to email me a photograph of you, I will attempt to turn you into a "good egg" to post here just for fun. :-)

HOSTESS WITH MOSTEST

It was an honor to be accepted into the Julia Kay Portrait Party (JKPP) in 2010.  It is a place to share your photos of  yourself and others share theirs then you pick anyone and draw their portrait.  Many artists will also draw  you.  There are over 900 members from around the world and close to 50,000 portraits have been completed. During my seven year membership I have drawn these 6 portraits of our hostess Julia Kay who had the brilliant idea to start this group.
