Who doesn't love a good journal flip through

I know you have seen a lot of these girls here and here, and you know what - there are even more here and I will explain why. I am obsessed thanks to Tony who invited me to participate in his story (See the full story here ). Since then, I have seen these girls “grow” in leaps and bound.

I played with backgrounds and details. Did I want to include all the details of what I thought these girls were doing and thinking or did I want to leave it to your imagination?

I did both and then I realized, I think expression is everything. It was better for your to figure out what they were thinking/doing. If I could get the expression right - you would get it.

Above - I wouldn’t try it - would you?

On the right - Don’t you think she’s off to somewhere ? but where?


Okay can anyone deny this one is a painter?

And there are so many more - I have filled more than 4 journals of over 40 pages each with these girls. SO - I made a quick flip through video and this is only 1 of 4 journals and there are probably still more in me.


I have had hours and hours of pleasure drawing these girls. Just getting them to do different things and figuring out how to show different expressions.

I first pencil draw the girls, over and over. Sometimes I can draw 10 in a day when it comes easy, and some days less. Sometimes the imagination, (and the ability) flows and some days it doesn’t.

I want to be able to draw more and more so that I can have more material to paint with my watercolors. It’s like having a coloring book of things I want to paint. So the more the better.


I don’t know where she’s going but - bulky turtleneck, pink-camo skirt - she know who she is!

The dog clearly has to be walked!


If you have come this far and read the post and watched the video I think it only fair to tell you the sale in the shop in still on. Take advantage while you are this far in ; )

I thank you all, so much who still follow, and read, and especially to my new comers who leave comments. Big Kisses.

Let’s me know you are out there and let me know I am not writing in a void - leave a comment - thank you.
