Miniature #17 (revised)

I admit it, I'm the queen of tweaking. She just didn't look right with her two toned face and five o'clock shadow, so I've evened out her skin tone, adjusted the tip of her nose, brightened up the lips, cooled her chin, and redefined the eye. The eye is now sitting down into the face better than it was before. (original post is here). It's still not the quality of the famous, amazing talent of John Singer Sargent ... but more closely resembles his painting of Ana, a girl from Capri. At least I'm happy with her!

Welcome to Art-a-Day!

Care To Join Us?

The idea is to challenge yourself creatively every day for the month of January. Wherever you do your work, however you do your work, just show up every day and do it. It’s that simple. How to challenge yourself is up to you – but do challenge yourself & share your experiences here on this blog. This is a fun & powerful experience if you allow it.

-Show up.
-Trust the process.
-Share it.

Do I Have to Blog Everyday?

No. Though it's a good thing, a fun thing, and highly encouraged at least now and again. Some participation lets us know you are on board, inspires others and may be used to determine eligibility for inclusion in a show (if we have one).

Do I Make Art Everyday?

Yes. That is the commitment.

Art-a-Day is self-regulating

It is very loose; however diligence is expected because that's what makes it expansive -for you. That is, you commit yourself in whatever fashion you can to "doing" art every day. Add to your piece each day or create something new, it’s up to you. It might mean folding a paper napkin while you are on an airplane flying across the globe because that's all you could do that day - but it was intentional.

Questions?

Still have questions or want to join the challenge? Don't hesitate to ask - you can add a comment to one of my posts.

Joyful creating!
