There was a "Faces you have drawn" Challenge thing that just popped back up in my feed on another site. So I'm extending that here. Post up some faces you have drawn (or painted, whatever.) Then boost this.

The little river town (Augusta, KY) that took me in , nurtured and encouraged me when I was a little baby artist-with a dream of making art my life, had a plein air painting event last friday.
I wanted to create something that captured all the gratitudeI have about that special little river town. I'm so glad I left the house--even when I was tired from a lot of travel.
a close up of a plein air painting. It depicts a riveside village on the ohio river. a ferry is on the right at the riverbank

Alex Colville. Family and Rain Storm, 1955.
Of the Canadian's many dozens of arresting paintings, I could not choose a favorite but this one is probably the most famous, and it includes many of his signature motifs: the act of going somewhere, an oblique anonymity, the fragment of a larger story left untold, and technology as framing geometry.
One surprising facet of his art for me is the date. He was painting us in the West as we were going to be through the height of Empire.

'Kapua's Morning Walk' is my new artwork for the coming group exhibition by Thinkspace projects at the Hawai'i state art museum Capitol Modern. This is part of the Hawai'i Walls event previously known as Pow! Wow! Worldwide, focusing on mural, street and contemporary art.
You can read a little about my doing of this piece composition and theme at my blog.

And of course, the first preview of my piece is here at Mastodon! 😁 👇🏼
Photo of a painting in a pop surrealistic style, depicting a supernatural female character whose hair is being blown by wind along flowers, a cat is behind her and a couple of wooden skulls hang from a staff she carries on her back made of bamboo, the theme is inspired on Hawai'ian mythology. The photo is shown under a UV light showing some of the paint fluorescent accents.
