[29 faces] The end: Portrait 18 & 19

Normally I would finish the project today or tomorrow but... something came up. I have a new little guy (eh, bird) to take care of and so my time is very limited these days. I'll blog about the little one later, but right now I just want to say: this is the end of my 29 faces. I didn't make it, but that's ok.. it continues with my 100 portraits challenge.

The last 2 portraits are made with aquatone and pencil and took 15-20 minutes.

It was much fun to see all the other artists and meet new people. Thanks everyone who joined the challenge, for the very kind feedback on my portraits and see you next time! 

[Art journal] Dream May 22

Last week I started a new art journal. In this journal I will make pages inspired by dreams. This is the page of May 22, I dreamed about 2 mermen who escaped from red lasers.

On the picture above you can't see the multidimensional textures so here are some close-ups made from different perspectives so you have an idea how it actually looks like:

[29 faces] Portrait 16 & 17

 

First drawing is HB pencil only. The second is made with 4B and aquatone. Both portraits took 30 minutes and have a texture by Kim Klassen.

Macro Sunday

Gratitude Friday

Every Friday I'm sharing a list at my blog. Muddy moments I'm letting go off, things which made me smile. But first I start with a photo collage, to show you where I have been, what I saw and what I've created this week:

Her words are delicate as petals 

Unraveling every layer 

Healing snippets claim their place 

In the soft soil where  

Love grows.

- Poem May 19 

[Trash]

• Drivers who don't watch out.
• Hallucinations which almost gave me a heart attack
• Calling someone on an inappropriate time.

[Gifts]

• The weather! <3
• 2 lovely coaching sessions, with lots of prompts to work with.
• Long meditations. I could meditate for 60 minutes long. So proud :)
• Seeing aura's
• New discoveries with macro photography
• New art journal ideas
• A lost chickie who is back home.
• My dream sis having the same synchronicity like me.
• Talking to friends I haven't spoken to for a long time.

Your turn! What were your ups and downs?

Oh! Also, don't forget to visit Sabrina's blog where I have a guest post about dream journaling. 


Have a wonderful weekend! :)

Planking with drinks

Me: I want to do something crazy!

Friend: Go to the street and do some planking.

Not crazy enough though. But it was a nice way to cool down.

Belgian newspaper from last weekend. There is an article about me and my project 365! :) I must say I was shy when even the hairdresser and salespeople have recognized me.

Best drink ever!
...

And I've cut my hair. It was really needed but.. It's way too short. I think I will put some dreads in again.

Roaming to Rome

 n. pl. syn·chro·nic·i·ties

1. The state or fact of being synchronous or simultaneous; synchronism.

2. Coincidence of events that seem to be meaningfully related, conceived in Jungian theory as an explanatory principle on the same order as causality.

This will be a very long blogpost. That's why I will add jump break so people who don't wish to read it, just can scroll down a little to read my other posts. Today I'm sharing with you a synchronicity story about Rome. How it all began and how it (still) continues...

[29 faces] Portrait 15 and a preview

Portrait #15 is a drawing made with HB and B6 pencils, A4 size. I guess it took 60 'till 90 minutes. I don't think it is really finished but whatever. It's a good practice to create drawings faster.

And this is a little preview on a new portrait. Not finished of course! This is how I start to draw the portraits, with some lines here and there. After that, the real work begins.
