29 Faces: Days 18 & 19 - Squawky and Violet

I'm still catching up, that'll teach me to slack off!  I thought these two go together so well that I had to post them together, like a set:

Squawky

Face 18

~ 1.25 x 2.5" Acrylic on YUPO

I felt I should include at least one human face in this challenge, so of course I drew Violet, upon whom all of my human girl characters are based.  Squawky on the other hand is just Squawky.

Violet

Face 19

2.5 x 3.5" Colored Pencil on Stonehenge

29 Faces: Days 12 - 17, Parade of the Baby Elements

Catching up (again)

OK I've gotten way behind with these 29 faces and will attempt to catch up here - I've actually been working all along but haven't found the time to post.

These six faces were part of my Nibblefest entry, our theme for May was "Earth, Air, Fire, and Water."

Parade of the Baby Elements

Faces 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17

8 x 4; oil on canvas

 It’s nighttime, and you know what that means!  Well in case you don’t, it’s when Earth, Air, Fire, and Water go on parade. and if you’re lucky you just might see them march by!   This is a sweet little scene from happier days when the elements used to play nicely together.

Here comes Earth (leading the parade on his unicycle) followed closely by Air and Fire, who was even then keeping a safe distance from Baby Water (so cute in diapers he always had a hard time staying dry)!   This was long before Water gave himself that pretentious title,  “Universal Solvent” and everything went to hell in a handbasket.

And what’s a parade without an audience?  I do believe that’s Lunchbox I see, trundling up the hill to watch the show.  Good ol' Lunchbox!

29 Faces - Day 9: Bloo

For Day 9 I have this little ACEO of Bloo.   I can't say enough good things about Bloo, she's just a great little elephant:

29 Faces - Day 8: Happy Little Hamster

This one's really tiny, an inch in diameter.  But a face is a face, no matter how small, right?  Isn't that the saying?

29 Faces - Day 7: Eyeballs McGillicuddy

I wasn't feeling too well last night so I'm a day behind with my 29 faces, I'll try to catch up this week.

Today's face belongs to Eyeballs McGillicuddy:

29 Faces - Day 6, Bunny

This one's technically a WIP, there are a few things I still need to fix but it's late and I have to get up for work in the AM.

My painting for day 6 is Bunny, posing for her school portrait:

29 Faces - Face 5, Soft and Fuzzy Johnson

I know you've all been anxiously awaiting the reappearance of that enigmatic character, Soft and Fuzzy Johnson.  Well wait no more, here he is in all his soft and fuzzy glory!

This is an enlargement, as the actual painting is quite small - 1.5" square.

29 Faces - Face 4, Jellybean

Here's today's Face, a fuzzy little kitty who I just realized might be our next cat (who will most likely be named Jellybean).

I'm pretty happy with how Jellybean turned out, although the graphite can be messy even after being sprayed with fixative a couple of times.

How's that for a catchy post title?   It's almost as clever as the name of this drawing!
