Hello Mary Thanks for your latest artist in the shed. I too have found that my faces have come under many influences.One the earliest was Leonardo himself and many have compared my faces as redolent of Michelangelos frescos on the roof of the Systine Chapel. But modesty forbids me to comment.However with due diligence you may soon rival my very distinctive artistic talents. May your magenta never turn puce Love Dad

Dad – I would say that your faces played a pivotal role in my artistic awakening. And did you know that puce is actually one of my favourite hues? Ever in gratitude for your ongoing guidance in my artistic endeavours. Love Mary x
Your mark making is quite intricate. Sort brush strokes. I like this a lot.
I meant to say short brush strokes.
Thank you Cheryl 💛
Gorgeous color and pattern!

Grace thankyou so much. I really appreciate you commenting!
Wow. I love this series. The color and the tons of tiny lines are really getting to a place of a beautiful unique look. Keeping going that route it’s beautiful!
Thankyou Mary! I definitely feel Ive found a subject and style that will run for a while. Thank you for commenting – it means a lot!
