Pale and interesting is how I have always described myself and these girlies are no different ;o)
I know in last week's update many of you mentioned how much you loved the colours in the paintings I did, but they just didn't feel like 'me', so this week I decided to step back a minute and have a really good think about the kind of things and colours that I truly love, I looked back at my past work to see which were my personal favourites and tried to figure out why those were so good (in my opinion)
I have come up with a heap of ideas and fabulous colour palettes that I truly love, these this week are the tip of that iceburg ;o)
I do hope you like this weeks work, I love them all :o)
I decided to go for a really 'raw' looking face on this lady, she has tons of layering in that face of hers and I loved every minute of painting her, she was a true joy to paint :o)
Be your own kind of beautiful:
This girly is a lot more fun and I always wanted hair that pale pink, I only ever managed a bright fushia pink on my own hair :o)
Dreams can come true: SOLD THANK YOU!!
This girl is a true 'one off' painting on a cradled wood panel, those wood panels cost a fortune to buy but are such good quality and a dream to paint on.
Titania: SOLD THANK YOU!!
This painting was painted in more dramatic colours and I love the finished look of this, I see a lot more dark red in my future paintings :o)
Luella: SOLD THANK YOU!!
How quirky is this girl? she is fabulous and I love her hair :o)
Beauty in the blink of an eye: SOLD THANK YOU!!
Last but not least is this wintery girl with leaves stamped through her hair, I like to call her....
Shiver: SOLD THANK YOU!!
So there you have this week's girlies all available to buy now in my etsy shop :o)
Happy Weekend

Hi Micki,
ReplyDeleteLove your girls. Guess what? I love pink hair,too.:) I actually had some many years ago...maybe someday i'll be brave enough to try a pink highlight.:) lotsa hugs, Amy
Dreams can come true is my favorite...but they are all so special, Micki! They all have such a hopeful quality...a sweetness that comes thru!
ReplyDeleteDreams can come true is really beautiful, lovely colours, Shiver is also a fav xxx
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I am never disappointed with your art work! Every piece is so beautiful! I love the dark red too!
ReplyDeleteMicki don't worry about changing your mind about colors, you are an artist, and you like to experiment. How boring if you did the same thing every day right? I love these ones, and I saw the previous ones and loved them too. All colors are beautiful. Just be free and have fun painting whatever you like, in whatever pallete you like
ReplyDeleteGosh, how do you manage to be so productive? can you tell your muse to tell my muse to get back on the job, lol!
lovin the new artwork as always
xoxo

They are fabulous! I love the colors, I think my favorite is Luella
ReplyDeleteHi Micki! It's been an age since I was able to stop by. I've missed your work and wow have you been busy! I love your new header and your new style of girlies too. My very fav I missed on 8/21 is A Beautiful Day. Although I think they are all my favs, lol! So much gorgeousness all at once - you spoil us! From this bunch, Dreams can come true and Shiver are my favs but I love them all!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Jessi xox
Thsee are so lovely, melancholy and hopeful at the same time. The colors add to this so I think you made a good choice.

Love all the neutrals with a hint of color. Very soft.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! And I love the gentle color palette. Sometimes you just have to go with your heart when it comes to color, although its always good to stretch yourself and try new things.
ReplyDeleteWwWwWOOOOOOOOOOOoooOOOOOOOOOOOWwWw!!!!!!! You go girl!
ReplyDeleteI saw your art work on etsy and just wanted to say that all of them are great - do you paint anything different than portraits? Well, I love the colours and the little details that make these faces so special. Wishing you all the best for the future - keep creating!
ReplyDeleteYour art work is so wonderful and pleasing to look at...my favorite in this group is Shiver...whoever bought her is lucky to have her. I love the earthy tones you picked in this group. Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your work! The pale colors and flowing hair really draw me in...
