This 100 faces project definitely got me drawing and loosened me up (mind and hand). Each of the faces so far has turned out so different. It is fun to know I have the ability to draw and paint so many different styles. If you enjoyed my 100 Faces project, I challenge you to try it yourself. Be sure to leave a comment below with a link to your web page or blog so I can see what you created.

Loosely based on a flower, these abstract watercolors look great in any home—traditional to contemporary.

Dogs for the Deaf has given me permission to use photos of their dogs to create dog portraits. What a treat to use some of their darling pictures. I am donating a dog portrait "Topher" for their unlimited use. I am having so much fun painting from their dogs that I may be painting more. They are thanking me, but really I feel like I am the one who is being blessed—funny how that works.
