finished all calendar pages!

It took a lot of patience and time, but I managed to get 12 images of my map faces done for my map calendar :-) I haven't put it up for sale yet, since I always order one calendar for myself first so I can check whether everything looks all right. As soon as I receive my calendar and everything is okay, I'll put it up for sale, together with my other two calendars.

Here are the images that I did this week:









I'm really looking forward to seeing it in "real life";-)

I didn't do anything for Inktober, since my week was super busy. In addition to starting a new job I'm also doing some training, and I'm starting to get the feeling of drowning in information and having no time to digest it. It's very interesting though, but how I'm longing for some time to just relax and paint for a whole day. My next canvas has been standing on the easel behind me and is starting to look very neglected.

I did however find an interesting auction for artists on Facebook, and I'm silently planning on getting something ready for this to sell. Probably one of my watercolour girls. Here's the information:


If you click on the image it should bring you to a document on how you can participate. Next week should be a bit less busy, so hopefully I'll find the time to paint something. I'll keep you informed!

Well, that's it for now! Thanks so much for your visit, and for leaving your wonderful comments. I'll be linking to Paint Party Friday tomorrow, and ending with some funnies :-)

And the ones to make you think ...







Hope you're having a very nice day, and wishing you a restful and peaceful weekend.
See you next week ♥ ♥ ♥

  4. For some reason I couldn't comment last week. There was no comment window even though others already had commented. Probably a hickup of my computer or browser. I'm glad it's working again. Your map faces are stunning and exceptional, Denise! The frames you chose work perfectly.
    Hopefully you'll find some time soon to get creative again.
    From your funnies and more serious picks I can tell that we're on the same page regarding a lot of topics.

  6. Thank you so much for sharing the Artists Give Back info. I am seriously thinking of donating a canvas. Question is, can I get it done in time? The map faces calendar is such a unique and awesome idea!

  7. Those map faces are wonderful. The calendars will be great, I'm sure. I didn't get much done for Inktober, either. It's hard to do everything at once.

  11. Your calendar pages look absolutely gorgeous! I love those map backgrounds. Seeing your map faces always reminds me of those bags of old maps that are sitting around in my home, and that I should use them. And then I always forget. Maybe I should start a separate sketchbook for incorporating maps on every page.
    It's always good finding materials that work for you in a local shop, especially if they aren't expensive, like your alcohol pens, isn't it. I've decided rather than looking for new pens, to go through my supplies and use what I already have :)
