Apart from my blog, my other obsession at the moment is my art. Yesterday, my aunt gave me an easel which was promptly assembled in the laundry area. I love it, it’s my own space…that I’m sharing with the pot plants, rocking chair, washer and dryer.

So, I thought I’d show you what I’d been up to for the last couple days in my little hideaway. I draw portraits. Mostly in pencil, and more recently in charcoal.

Here are some my most recent charcoal pieces:

And here are some of my pencil drawings:

I love drawing faces….the emotion, the eyes, the posture, the soul lies in the face.

It would be lovely if you wanted one too. Get in touch if you do at gringacolombiana@hotmail.com.

Happy Friday!
