At long last. We return.
This first photo is from a previous session
on a friend here at KVCR.
I used
her name in the title,
calling it "Dia de la Moreno."
Funny, because she IS a brunette... but anyway...
You can link to that session with a click HERE.
A few days later, I was in Boulder, Colorado.
Whilst in the middle of
a game of Cards Against Humanity,
I noticed the availability of canvas next to me.
I don't remember if she even cared what went onto her.
I mean, she probably DID care, but trusted me
(to a certain extent) to not be
too foul or profane.
Sorry it's sideways.
I think most of us were sideways too.
So as I was thinking
about the relatively few sugar skulls
I've drawn on people here and there, a woman
pointed out her bracelet - a rather STUNNING
Day of the Dead inspired piece.
It inspired ME...
to get out one of my new metallic pens.
Still working out the bugs on these things,
but THIS session turned out well. Amongst the
favorites (if not THE favorite) of a friend
and recovering canvas, Tracy.
I liked it a lot as well.
Fairly basic and simple, really.
And the silver was not always a COLOR, per se,
but sometimes only an accent.
Then adding these lines,
and connecting them, we ended with
a sort of piece of jewelry. A bit of a scarab perhaps?
My goddaughter had just painted up her own arm
with something similar. Really love her work. I've
posted some here and there on these pages.
Check out at least one of those
groupings with a click
Back to this one.
Done with the drawing,
and having made her twist her arm
so her skirt would serve as a backdrop...
We found that
putting her amongst the quartz
was quite nice, and I'm sure more comfortable.
Only one more session
left from the Boulder trip, and it's a doozy!
I'm getting impatient to get caught back up,
so we'll be seeing that soon.
Enjoy your dia.
