Samples

Oh - I've been away from Face-Painting for a while. Recently I've been swamped with Caicature events. (I wonder if it had anything to do with the Kidsday Article that recently came out about me - I'll post a copy of it if I get a chance.) Anyway, I'm doubled up on events just now. Because the Face-Painting is really picking up again now.

I had remembered that the last time I was doing it a lot, I had gotten tired of doing the same thing over and over. So I discovered that I had more freedom to be repetitive or not
If I would Not Put Out Samples.

That worked great
back then.

But then last week I had an event. A Pre-School Graduation. Decided not to put out my Samples even though I brought them. Ick - I was confounded because one of my first kids requested a Cheetah. Ummm, I couldn't quite think of a Cheetah. Spots? Cat whiskers? And should the background be Purple? Or maybe Orange? Don't forget the nose.....

I did whatever I did, and the kids liked it. Whew. So several others asked for the same thing. And me, not really being ready, not really having studied Cheetahs, I felt insecure while I painted them.

This weekend, I'll be doing a Company Outing in a Park. I figure I'll be happier to put out A Lot of Samples as usual. But just looking at my old Samples, even though there are a hundred of them, they feel repetitive to me. I don't feel like doing that now
Again.

I have a lot of photos here of faces I had painted a while back. Putting some new Samples together. I hope you'll notice when I'm at Your Party. Perhaps the painting isn't anything new for me, but since the Sample is, I'll probably have different inspirations.

Here are 2 of my new Samples. I like how my simple flowers matched the girl's clothes. And I did a double-take on the photo of the Shooting Stars. At first, it looked like I had put large dots on the end of the woman's eyelashes - like, How did I do that??? But, lol, it's regular dots along the bottom of the eyes. Intriguing photo.
