Painting Louise

 When your very awesome extra special arty friend asks you to paint her,because you have been sharing Instagram photos of your latest art journaling efforts,

 and she has been watching and liking and then she requests a portrait.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So I tell her I was definitely no Jo Kinder (insanely fine artist).,

but she has a Jo Kinder and would like a Lisa Oxley Style Portrait.

A scrapwitch original, no less

ok , ok , so how can I refuse my scrapping inspiration, my muse, Louise.

"This is my practice one",I said to myself when I started .

(I do that, make a practice piece, which inevitably becomes THE piece after all).

another practice piece :)

Heaps more pieces from my creative year over here on Instagram ,

so easy to upload from ones smart phone.
