onward we go...

last few faces for july, 

they are getting very abstract... 

i am going with the flow, following my muse.

even though the doubts creep in. 

is it good enough, too wacky, too quirky, 

not realistic enough?

but i connect with them and they talk to my heart, 

therefore i trust that they are enough.

parts of me needing to be expressed. 

i apologize for this one being on its side,

 but i have tried everything i know to turn her,

she just won't have it

:) 

7 months!!!

July, 

 et voila! 

keep on keeping on...

some colorful, some sad, some crazy, some on the go... 

so many faces

nearly 7 months... 

artist inspiration

Cape Town artist Lorraine Loot 

has been inspiring me for a while, 

(in fact she was one of the reasons i started my 365 faces)

she started with 365 paintings for ants 

and then went onto 730 of those tiny

incredibly detailed, amazing little paintings. 

recently she showed her work in New York 

and i proudly followed her journey there...

cruising

so we've just come back from a fun little trip to the Cape. 

I had never been in Cape Town during winter and it was just as beautiful as ever...

cold, wet, sunny, rainy and... beautiful! 

we went to  Ben Howard's amazing concert

and then we explored and ate delicious food... 

 a real treat! 

see you

4 little pairs of eyes staring at me in the studio.

i've grown attached to them already...

but they'll have to wait for a little bit while i go on a little fun trip 

to the Cape! 

See you next week! 

200!

i seem to be painting a lot of "serious' men 

at the moment... 

and that takes me to 200!!! 

i'm so chuffed, never thought i would get this far, 

onward to the next 165!
