Some more recent designs

As I've been looking at the work I've done in the past year, I've been able to recognize the growth I have made as an artist. I'm still not the fastest or the best in the business, but I can definitely see that I'm getting better. Can you?

Faces I've Painted

These are some of the faces I've painted in the last year or two that I haven't gotten around to posting yet.

Muppets

I've been practicing for a Muppets/Sesame Street birthday party I'll be painting for. Here are a few sneak peaks. Excuse my kids expressions, they were being silly when I took pics.

Pajama party

Here are some pictures from a recent party I did for a little girl's morning pajama party.

 These are some of the ideas I practiced before the party

Halloween Faces

 I did face painting at a birthday party just before Halloween so we had a variety of faces at the party. We did some princesses and some Halloween themes. It was fun to do some new things.

I did my kids for Halloween too, my daughter was a purple witch and my son was Venom or black spiderman as he calls it. A friend of my daughter was a cat and wanted her face orange and black, she loved how it turned out.

Faces

I had my first paying gig today and got a lot of good pics of some of my work. Thanks mom-in-law for arranging this for me. I'm also posting some pics from other days of practicing on my kids and some neighbor kids.

Fun Faces by Jen

I'm beginning a new business and decided I need a website to show my work and tell about my business.

Drawing and painting are my loves in life. Becoming a parent made it more difficult to do this as often as I would like. One way I tried to use my budding talent was to do face painting for my kids birthdays! They loved it and begged for me to do it again and again. This year after painting the kids faces at my daughter's birthday party, one of the little girls asked if I could do it for her birthday too. Thus the idea was planted and my little business began.

My first thought was that I needed some pictures of faces I had painted. I only had a few so I started taking pictures of some of my work. I still don't have a lot, but it's a start. I intend to add more as I get more experience.
