Working on a Painting and my 3 little Muses


I have been working on this painting. You may remember it from earlier post


Added some clock parts
I love embellishments!
My favorite part of this face is that you can see ever so faintly the pattern of the paper through her skin.


Buttons and Lace


I am still not finished. 
I have to add some elements to the background and her crown.

This is what I will be housing this painting in. 
Had to try it on for the fit.  


And the muse for my painting is the ever so beautiful Maddie


This will be my next muse - Gracy

And then we have Xylie
(Soon to come story about Xylie, She is a special little girl)

(I had to put a picture of all the girls because they would be upset if Maddie was the only one on Aunt Heather's blog, Sisters.....) 

You will see a lot of these girls in my next paintings

My favorite muses. 

They are so much fun!!

They make me happy!

Each one of them has a different shade of blue eyes.

Just beautiful!

This week it is going to be all about the work!

You got to do the work!

Get off the computer and do the work!

I still have to get 10,000 hours in!


Don't forget to join the artists at Paint Party Friday!

I love your lovely ladies and all their embellishments! Do your muses speak to you and say , she needs a sparkle here, or lace there?
