This week I have had hardly any time for art. We are still getting ready to move and signing on our new house tomorrow! Very excited.
So this is a 'just started' sketch of my oldest daughter, Brittany, as she looked when she was much younger.
Still enjoying these 'Zen Portraits' a lot and I find them very relaxing.
Hope all of you are having a relaxing and wonderful Sunday!

Please head over to Sophia's place to enjoy more great Sunday Sketches.
OOOOOOHHHH! This is my favorite so far. I don't know why. I think it is the eyes. They are very lively. Good luck on the closing. I read your tale about the house search and I sympathize. Hope all goes well. Enjoy your Sunday and have a great week! Tsup!
ReplyDeleteJulia,

I suppose you're going to make zen drawings of all your kids, then? beautiful patterns here
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your house! Hope everything goes super smoothly from now on!
ReplyDeleteGreat start! Looking forward to seeing more progress!
hello dear lady,
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see this portrait in action. It would make a very interesting piece if it were finished at this point, it would beg to know what the textured parts mean against the blank of open spaces.
Still I know it will be charming and I bet we will get to enjoy it when it is finished. Wishing you a graceful move.
intriguing pic...i like the textures, but think it will look so much better when you are done with it...
ReplyDeleteadmire all teh detail work - must take quite some time! will love to see it finished! Happy moving!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I love it!
ReplyDeleteYour work is AMAZING! I love, love, LOVE all the line work and detail. I get this peaceful, serene feeling imagining you there inking these pieces.
ReplyDeleteThanks for such an inspiring blog! I look forward to following you and your work, and thank you for the kind comments on my own blog. All the best.
Another beautiful sketch. And congrats on the new house!
ReplyDeleteWow this is really cool!!! I've never seen this type of art until you started doing it, and love it!!!
