~ Black haired girl ~

I haven't painted in such a while....(Summer holidays....kids ...LIFE ) so it was great to just sit down and manage to squeeze a little time to myself:
I actually used a 30 cm x 30 cm canvas for this painting ,instead of some random paper,book or whatever I CAN GET MY HANDS ON AT THE TIME type of thing.
I used some vintage sheet music on the canvas ,before painting with acrylics and using some nice soft coloured  pencils, I really should have pasted the sheets a little neater but hey ho!!! ...note to self ..do it next time
I wanted to use some white pastels on her hair,just to give a little more detail ,but oldest daughter has been dipping into my supplies again,excuses, excuses well this is how she turned out
So hopefully I can fit in some more painting soon,especially since my kiddo's are back to school next week ....Do I sound pleased ??

Bye for  now xx Manda xx

*** New Blog***

Well this is the start of my new blog, It's sort of a catalogue of the art I have already created,and thing's I would like to inspire too.and be able to do

This is what happens when you don;t let the ink dry,lots of smudging :( 

I am not a trained artist(that you will know straight away) more of a self taught ,inspired type of person,who likes to experiment and try out new thing's, so any positive help or Idea's would be greatly appreciated.
Ive recently started up a journal,so hopefully I might show some of my work,who knows???
Here's some of my art ( can I dare call it that )..... so far ......
