In Perspective With Van Gogh

"Great things are not done by impulse, 
but a series of small things brought together."
VINCENT VAN GOGH

29 Faces In May
With is exactly how I am feeling and thinking about the 29 Faces as a whole.
The process of creating each of these paintings
has been a wonderful experience!

Each one... carries its own unique statement.
Brought on my the maker; painter.
Time well spent...
an assortment of thoughts, 
a collection of emotions, all accumulated and applied to the canvas.

I am discovering myself.
to better understand myself, through this process...
what a wonderful thing to gain, self awareness. 

Face #19

This painting was created on a 5" x 7" canvas.
She has a title too.

Titled: speechless 
Yes... she has nothing to say.
There are times in our life, when it is better to say nothing at all!


Face #20

Created on a 5" x 7 ' canvas.
Now this painting... started with just a thought I had in mind. 
I honestly had no idea how she would turn out.
Yet, when I spend time looking at this painting...
I know just how she feels. 
"I am not perfect, but I am put together in all the right places."

ENJOY
What is on my desk right now... Face # 21.

Happy Monday!

  7. Love #20! As I look back over the faces you've made this month, I'm amazed! They look similar - I see your style, BUT they're each so individual and filled with personality. This is an excellent series; you should be very proud.
