Zendala Challenge #51 from Erin at the Bright Owl

Black Micron, Graphite on 20 lb. bond

This week sure is getting away from me.   I really do not know why, it is not like I have been doing anything particularly interesting but it sure is slipping through my fingers.  I was a good girl and completed this week’s Zendala challenge.

I had a good time with this one even though this is my second attempt at this Zendala.  The first one was pretty bad.  But I like this version a lot better.

Lately, I’ve had the itch to paint.  And not just paint anything.  I have been wanting to paint a portrait.  Drawing people is hard enough, but I have never painted people so I am going to assume that it is a lot harder.  Now, the question is, who to paint?  Now there are plenty of pictures on Facebook of family and friends that I could rip off or a celebrity that I could paint, but I decided not to go that route.  I am afraid that I may think it looks awesome and they may think it looks awful and I certainly do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings.  So, I guess I am going to try a self-portrait.  I mean, I doubt I’ll hurt my own feelings.    Of course, all this thinking and rationalizing may be for nothing and I’ll end up throwing it away.  But I think I will give it a go and just see what happens.

Well, I guess that’s about it for me.  I hope you guys are enjoying this beautiful day!

Be Well and Happy!
