Friday Art - Portrait

 



This is my take on Mariah Carey for Nicole's Friday Face Off Portrait challenge today.  ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in pencil.  It needs work I agree, but here it is....

This carved wooden bear is absolutely beautiful!
It's snowing here again too, so I'm not going out today either!
Safety first!

Christine, you amaze me every time I see your art. You capture likeness, detail and expression on this tiny canvas. I seriously don't know how you accomplish this but you do. This is a brilliant piece of art. Thank you so much for joining in with FFO portrait challenge. Have a very nice weekend.

What a lovely pencil portrait. Mariah’s features are captured really well, especially for an ACEO size. I love seeing the detail you’ve put into such a small format; it’s a neat challenge and looks great so far.

A wonderful likeness of her! I can hear her singing "All I Want For Christmas Is You!"
