IF - Pretend

Smile - 3.5"x4.75", pencil sketch, colored in Photoshop

She decided to stop pretending to smile and just wear a mask.

More playing in Photoshop this week. I enjoy playing with the filters; it feels like collage for me. When I can't get into the studio to paint, this is a good fix. 

I'm not feeling down, I swear. There was a pic of a girl holding a balloon in the paper and this popped into my head for this prompt. 

Mask

Bath Mask - 12"x12", acrylic and collage

This weeks theme at my Art Motivation Group is "mask." I've had this image of me holding up a washcloth with a face print on it for several years. I can't believe it took me this long to actually do something with the idea! 

IF - Wise

O-W-L that spells owl, Craypas and colored pencil on lined paper

Another quick one I did with my 3 year old at "Table Time" today. I hope I have more time next week for something more involved.

I played with textures in Photoshop this week. Man, I want a tablet! Here's my take on that vacant expression my kids always have when they zone out in front of the tv.
