i slide into a realm
of joy and contentment
when i sketch whatever face
wants to appear on my page
some days are full of learning new techniques
and how to draw bodies (like in my last post)
they are challenging
so in between
I draw a face, a lovely spirit
like this gal who wears her hair in a bun

wow...she is beautiful. My daughter Rosie draws owls often, I think they nurture her.xxx
ReplyDeletevery pretty Tammie!
ReplyDeleteI think the beauty in other peoples art/photography nurtures me in a way, it sounds weird but in looking, visually absorbing the art there is a purity, and I feel sometimes although my stuff doesn't completely satisfy me, looking at others takes me to a place that only they can share, & it makes me happy, like the serenity & intelligence of the girl with bun here, that seems to radiate from this wonderful sketch - just lovely :)
ReplyDeleteShe is just so beautiful Tammie!
ReplyDeleteThe beauty is immeasurable, thanks, thanks always for your art ...
ReplyDeleteA great work, a strange peace fills my spirit.
Thanks friend, you are a sweetheart.
this one is lovely and somehow different looking from the others - maybe its the white hair lends her a more mature look?
ReplyDeleteso soft and serene. beautiful
ReplyDeletevery, very beautiful.....
ReplyDeleteShe looks very content and calm.. usually your drawings are a mirror of what you are feeling.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed.. you know how to put spirits in your drawing faces! And I like each and one of them, and this one not an exception!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
Happy Valentines Day to you! :)
xoxoxo

ReplyDeleteJanice. x
Ha Tammie,
ReplyDeleteNice hair as sandwich.Good to learn new tecnieken.
It,s become a very fase.
A fine Valenstijnsdag for you
Greetings Christiene.
she looks calm, collect. & quite lovely.
ReplyDeleteI like to scribble in odd curves when I can't draw, I suppose that is sort of nurturing as I don't have a steady hand and often just scibbling or just touching pencil to paper is quite a relief.
have a sweet day.
I am sure you will learn to draw bodies as well as you now draw these ethereal faces.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I draw that nurtures me? Hmmm. I think it is trees, gnarly,bumpy, twisted tree trunks.. I love to draw those!
what a wonderful piece....such depth and wonderment in those eyes and beautiful facial features. her messy bun and loose sketch of the hair is lovely!! how fun it is to watch your art continue to grow!!

How amazingly beautiful! I simply adore her sweet face - there is kindness in those eyes and smile. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the modeling you achieved in the skin......she pops right out at you. Her eyes are so engaging. You create a nice contrast between simplicity of line and detail. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHi Tammie, I adore her, she is just so beautiful :o)
ReplyDeleteA very very lovely face, your rendering is excellent!
ReplyDeleteI really love your faces. Ooooooooh, her little button nose. I just want to pinch it! And her lips are gorgeous. Aah, and those apple cheeks. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh Tammie she's just beautiful, I see you in her! Simply magical.... I especially love her little smile :)
ReplyDeleteMagical hugs & kisses!
