Sunday was better although in the afternoon we had hail! But I finally worked on a face that's been sitting in the studio staring at me for quite awhile...
Do you remember her...
For the longest time I just couldn't "see" her hair. Then I was looking through my patterned papers when I saw several papers with large blooms and they just spoke to me. I cut out several of the flowers, glued them on, and then using a dip pen and ink I outlined them all. And she's called Flora!
Very cool, Janet...I enjoy hearing about your process with these pieces.
ReplyDeleteAnd her last name is Garden...Flora Garden. She's very pretty Janet.
ReplyDeleteI love it, and the flowers are just the added touch
ReplyDeleteLove the floral hair. It really enhances her.
ReplyDeleteoh my I just love the face and the flowers are an amazing touch!
ReplyDeleteJanet, she's beautiful! She's got such a perfect face, too -- like a doll. :)

Perfect Janet, it really looks like they were ment for each other. You're so good at waiting for the right thing to happen. I could learn a bit from that.
ReplyDeleteSo cool Janet! I adore her hair! Very, very cool! Clever you! And clever you for walking away when it wasn't coming together. Such an important thing to learn to do.
ReplyDeleteI just think Flora is Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI Like Flora!!!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you couldn't do any hair on her...she was ment for this, love her new look.
ReplyDeleteOh she's beautiful. I love the flowers. It may not make sense to anyone but me, but my first thought when I saw her was "syncronized swimming" I'm sitting here laughing and I crack myself up!
ReplyDeleteLove her zenia hair!!!! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteShe great Janet. Love the hair. I like that you walk away from a piece and then come back with inspiration to complete it.

Who needs hair when you can be beautiful with Flowers...this is really good....We snow again today, and we got about 4 inches, but the mountains got loads more.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have had some great weather also....I am so ready for warm, and sunny!!! Your, Mary
Her hair is perfect -- she reminds me of a goddess, sort of!
ReplyDeleteOur Saturday, hot, and I spent it in a studio with Kari McKnight Holbrook -- her studio was in the same issue of CPS Studios as yours! Great workshop -- look for a post soon...
Oh, that's just brilliant! I LOVE this - and it reminds me of the old plastic bathing caps! But hers is of course much more elegant! Beautiful Flora ;) xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the title I thought you painted something in Flora Bowley's style... so you surprised me! Your Flora looks great! I love how you shaded her face (even you have to be happy with it) and her "hair" is appropriate for the first day of Spring. xo
ReplyDeleteShe is delightful and I love the zinnias in her hair. Your devoted follower, Connie
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the process, Janet! :]
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, looks great ((hugs))
