a little bit of progress

Where oh where does the time go!?? I cannot believe it is the end of the school year already. A few more days and July will be starting. This year feels like the fastest year ever.

Needless to say I didn't nearly get as much art done as I would've liked. Just a bit of progress in my toilet / bathroom, some sketches and some preparation to finally try and participate again in Colour me Positive.

Here are some glimpses of our toilet:



The swirl on the wall gave me the inspiration for this face. It looked like an eye. Now I'm not sure whether I should leave it like this or give him/her a "real" eye. What do you think?

Next are 2 pages I sketched in marker, all kinds of faces, stylized mosty, which I think I will be using in collage.

And that's it again for this week. Wish I could show you some progress on my big canvas, but alas, no progress at all. In fact I still need to start ....

Linking this to Paint Party Friday! Thanks for visiting, thanks for commenting! I'll finish this post with a few funnies :-)



:-D

Wishing you a great day and a happy weekend full of fun! See you next week ♥ ♥ ♥

  13. Love the swirl eye...but I think you need to finish the other eye and see if you are satisfied with the swirl still there!! You know what you like... you will be studying it and possibly even change things as you go anyway! Looks gorgeous so far... Love it!! The faces for collage are sooo fun!! What is the writing below the blue face on the wall? Just curious!! I can wait for the big reveal if need be though!

    1. Thanks Giggles! The writing is my favorite poem from Warsan Shire:
      “later that night
      i held an atlas in my lap
      ran my fingers across the whole world
      and whispered
      where does it hurt?

      it answered
      everywhere
      everywhere
      everywhere.”

      It was there before I found the face, but I think it fits well with the face ...
