Oh Boy, a new Challenge by Ayala --Modigliani

This is not an entry into the challenge. But I'm so excited to start working on the Modigliani Challenge for my next upload. Must create the art first. Yeah, more fun!!

Why?

That's a Good Question. No one really has the answer though.

The Day After the Challenge -- And This is What Came Out

29 Faces -- Last Day -- Seize the Day

I'm sorry to see the challenge end! It's been fun!

29 Faces -- 28 Days -- Angel Texture with Computer Paint

This was a canvas on which I put a lot of apoxie clay for texture. In real life it has too much random texture and I never was happy with the way it turned out. Last night I used "Paint" on my computer to add color to make it pop a little. I like it a little better but the face has been changed and changed again on the actual canvas so I just gave up with that part. Anybody know how I can get rid of the spackling compound, I really hate it and can't work around it in it's present state? This is just a virtual face--doesn't really exist in real life.

29 Days -- Day 27 -- Bloom

I feel spring in the air!

29 Faces -- Day 25 -- Two Faced

In an effort to supply a little humor on my page, I just want you to know this is a literal interpretation and not the sneaky-pie other interpretation, which I am not fond of finding in anyone including myself! To thine own self be true and that goes for being true to everybody else as well. As I look at this, one could also say, put your best face forward, or simply face forward, or face it, or face your fears, or what is that growth coming out of my forehead? Or, Aliens inside us....gosh there's a lot in this one that never occurred to me when I created it. Any psychologists in the challenge?

29 Faces -- Day 24 - Bird Lady of Bimini

This one has evolved and changed over time.  It started as a collage of some of my pieces on a wood square. Then I added more painted elements and glitter (you can't see it in this print). Then again tonight I added some more touches here and there. I have other prints incorporating the bird and the head (separate pieces).

29 Faces -- Day 23 - More Magic

While the World is Full of Magic, 

There's Always Room for More Magic!



29 Faces --Day 22 -- Shaman

Started this two days ago starting with the face, then added the serpenty wings and it evolved into a joyous shaman in an ecstatic healing state, perhaps experiencing a connection with the divine.

29 Faces -- Day 21 -- Face Build Up - Print, Pen, Paint

Print, Pen, Paint.



29 Faces -- Day 20 - And Now for Something Different: Tribal Kings

This is an older work in a primitive style with faces. It's a mixed media on a wood plank. I was making it to fit as an Etsy banner for one of my shops.

29 Faces -- Day 19 - White Hair, Green Dress

Today's face is more modern. I've finally left the Victorian ladies to their own century.

29 Faces -- Day 18 -- Yet Another Victorian Lady

29 Faces -- Day 17 -- Another Victorian Lady
