English Gent, and Blogs

First off I just want to say that participating in Sketch Crawl was such a wonderful experience and meeting all you other artists and bloggers was incredible.
I'll hate to see this Art-A-Day month end, so much sharing and viewing of beautiful art should continue throughout the year! I would love to follow any of your art blogs, so if you have one please put a link in the comments below :)
I also have a blog that I update everyday, so the sharing can go both ways.
Here's my link,

Anyway, back to art!
On Monday nights I take an art class, and this month we made clay masks that were fired in a kiln. Right now we're at the glazing stage before the final firing.
When asked to make a mask I wanted to do something out of the ordinary, so I made
a proper English gentleman from the 1800's. His back story is that he went on a venture to the
Congo but and went completely native. I enjoyed adding the face paint so much!
I think the rugged native face paint and the proper English expression give my piece an interesting contrast.

After today's 30th Sketch Crawl (http://sketchcrawl.com/), I was so inspired that I ran home and worked vigorously on my Green House painting. I squirted out the paint and slathered it on willy-nilly. My fingers became blue, white, black then green! Paint on my wrists, fore-arms even! I threw it all on the canvas, reworked the glass domes and didn't look back!
Tomorrow,
photos will come.
Stay Artsy
