Crowned in Pink


lady crowned in pink
was a fun experience
I learned a new way of painting from Adriana Almanza
I am taking her "Doll Dreams" class
we use two paint brushes
one to put on the color
the other to blend it around
not easy, but layer after layer and I began to get a bit of a feeling for painting this way


so fun to learn new techniques!



I have been on the road
wandering in the Rocky Mountains in Montana and Alberta Canada
summer is a beauty!

This was taken in Many Glacier, Montana
Glacier National Park

  30. What a wicked-cool look (as my tweener daughter would say.) There is a big part of me that would love to sport some pink hair. The color contrasts are fabulous.

    Glacier National Park is on my list of places I want to visit. Since it is 97 degrees today I think July would be a perfect time to be in Montana.

  34. My dear Tammie--you are such an encourager! ((hugs)) I love you and I love your artwork.

    lol I have been working on something special for you. Funny thing--I was probably working on it as you were writing about my little doodlings. (grin)

    Kindred spirits we be!

    I adore your beautiful drawing here--she fills my eyes.

    I like seeing the progression from what you started with to the finished picture. Lovely, just lovely...and that photo. WOW! That fills my eyes, too.

    Have a lovely rest of the day, my Friend!

  40. Tammie, Great shading on her face and nice lips! You are one of the most prolific artist gals I know of. I think it is interesting the way that you put a lot of depth in the face and deliberately made the body flat. I like the combination.

  41. I love to learn and to play around with new techniques! Thanks for your lovely comment Tammie. It is much appreciated.:)xx

  42. Where have I been?? I almost missed this little lady...and I just love her bubble gum pink hair! I hope the weather there is fine and you're having plenty of time out exploring. :) oxx

    PS: I just had "disco" for word verification... how cool is that? It matches the bubble gum pink! :))

  43. The mountains have clearly fed your creativity and energy - intoxicating!
