29 Faces: 1 - 4

Face 1
I'm really enjoying the 29 Faces Challenge. I am getting lots of practice and lots of encouragement... two things I'm really thankful for. Sometimes, when the paintings are coming really quickly like this, I find that I don't have a lot of words to go with them. I find myself in that space now. So I'll leave you with someone else's words that resonate with me:
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
~Andre Gide
Linking this up with Paint Party Friday!
