Block Party Face Painting
Our block had a party this Sunday. It was a lot of fun. The kids had a blast. I did some face painting. I had several ‘beard’ requests, also rainbows, zombies and a Jack Sparrow. Here are my girls-
Scarlett requested a green bunny …
…and Imogen, a blue cat.

Ruby
This is Ruby. She is seven months old. She was a delight to paint. I think a lovely gift from a daughter and son in law who are moving away to a loving mother/grandmother.

This Big
This is a 9″x12″ (2″ deep) mixed media painting on wood.
I painted this same image last year, an ACEO. It may have been the first ACEO I did. A couple of weeks ago I was going through my images, looking for inspiration, and I came across this photo again. It was taken when Imogen was almost three, I was pregnant for Scarlett. I think I asked her how big she was and she stood as tall as she could and stretched out her little neck. At three, it was really important to be ‘this big’. Come to think about it, I guess it is still important at six. Imogen had a big cry the other day because I made her get the size 13 shoes instead of the (big girl) size ones. Let me tell you, the 13s were even a little on the big side but she cried and cried and said ‘I am just a baby!’. It was hard not to laugh, if she could only realized that in a few years she will be wishing her feet were smaller so she could fit in all those fabulous size six shoes on the sales rack!
