Natalie

Yesterday I posted an older face I had done in felt a while ago - me with our 2 cats! I was just too tired to create a new face. I'm pretty happy with what I've accomplished so far, so I don't stress if I miss a day.

Today I took out my Prismacolor pencils and did a new portrait, a woman whom I named Natalie. I spent longer than usual on this one and really got into layering colors. At the end I added a few touches of dark brown Micron pen. I've decided that daily portraits are enough, especially if I'm going to do 100 of these. Coming up with the stories is just too much. I hope that, at some later time, I'll come back to some of these characters and create stories about them.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I hope you've had a very good day!!

I hope everyone reading this has had a wonderful Easter!

She lived in a time when ladies wore hats and dresses

and sometimes even white gloves to church.

She was careful to be polite and proper, as was

expected by society,

and she never spoke out of turn.

But deep inside she felt a yearning

to be honest, to be herself

and

to be wild and free.
