Pizza Night ~ Happy PPF!

Hello!

Pizza night at our place... or, rather, pizza afternoon! 
We're retired, we eat when we're hungry ;D)

So, high on pizza, I decided to draw ours. 

It's a fast paint and, ok, it does look like a "Floating Pizza" lol, but it was fun to do and that's always the main thing isn't it:

Before I close, I'd like to send supportive thoughts to fellow Aussies up in Queensland... not only have you had to endure fires, then floods and but also looters while people have had to evacuate!!  Thankfully, police have today charged a man in connection with up to $80,000 worth of  looted goods. 
Still not finished, a cyclone is currently bearing down on their coastline.

Some more of my ladies and a milestone ~ Happy PPF!

Hello!

I hope your week has gone by smoothly.

Mine's been a bit 'here and there' -  but I finally gathered my wits and got a post together!

Here's some more sketches of faces which I will add to the lovely Paint Party Friday collection:

A few blogfriends commented in my last post that they enjoyed seeing my ladies all together.
So here's a shot of my newest ones that ended up on the same page as last weeks ones.

 Now, for a closer look:
Katie


Helen... who always wanted to wear a bird in her hair!


Mavis... looking pensive here.  I'm not sure she's had her morning coffee yes, that could be it.



Julie used to love the Dusty Springfield look... sometimes she still belts out a tune in front of the mirror!

Finally is a special one I've slipped in.
My darling and I were lucky enough to have reached the beautiful milestone of having our 50th Wedding Anniversary recently.
Here's a sketch I did from a photo of us that was taken a while back when I was in my red hair phase lol...
As for the likeness, it's not very good but it does capture a shared love that we never take for granted:

All the very best to you and thanks for popping in. Sue xx

Some Faces ~ Happy PPF ~

Hello!

Joining in with Paint Party Friday.

I've always loved the thought of sketching faces and have produced all manner of them over time.

I know the eyes may look in two directions at once in some of them, and that proportion is 'out the window' lol, but it's fun to do and,  in the spirit of sharing our art, here are what have been lurking in my various sketchbooks:

First of all, having been totally inspired by Denthe in her blogpost "Watercolor Girls"  this is what I came up with:




"Pony Tails" made her appearance some years back:



2013:


Finally, "Brown Eyes" a year later:


~ I really appreciate the opportunity of sharing my art and of being able to see what everyone else has created within the friendly community of Eva and Kristin's PPF blogspot.  Sue xx
