Portraits #13, 14 and 15 - 29 Faces Challenge

I have three new portraits/postcards for both challenges I am involved in. I tried to add a good bit of detail, however I think I should have started off with color backgrounds rather than just white. I guess I'll try that on the next portrait attempt. So I have here more flower faces:)

Face #13
My son finds these disturbing and promised I would do some more images like the Frida postcard. He liked Frida the best.He thinks the new faces 13-15 are too "weird". The 12 year-old art critic, love that he has an opinion:)
Face#14
I like them all but not for the end result. The process is the most fun for me. I like the final product only because it reminds me of what I did and what I thought about to get to the final piece. Art is a journey to me. I am starting to like more and more the idea of not knowing where it will end up.

Face#15
Now I'm off to bed, we've got an early rise tomorrow and a long ride upstate. Sunday will be a lazy day, woohoo! The Feast on the Beach is in town, maybe my son and I will make our way to the water in the afternoon. St. Boniface Church presents a carnival there every year. Lots of cotton candy, crappy carny food and great rides...Summer is almost upon us! 

Enjoy your weekend! have fun and be safe:)

I love them :) Love your 12-y-o, the art critic, too :D My 3-y-o is still in awe of the idea that you can draw things that aren't actually there - love that too :D Have a good weekend & enjoy that quiet Sunday!

Oh these postcards are just wonderful Fran... and I love the words that you choose for each one... and how lovely that your son takes an interest and has an opinion on your art... I must admit I loved your Frida postcard too...

Hope you have a fabulous time away...

I think your flower faces are so cute! And the white background lets the flowers be center-stage.

Have a great week-end!!
