Susie by me (no risk of anyone recognizing her from this picture!)
(ink & watercolor in 9×12 Aquabee sketchbook)
Tonight my painting group had planned to take turns posing for each other for a life drawing session. Then life intervened and only Susie was able to come. We were both so tired we decided to just paint for half an hour or so. We sat across from each other at the table, and painted each other’s faces as we drew each other.
Me by Susie (maybe recognizable with my new green glasses and red hair–love the way she did the hair!)
Watercolor on 4x 9.5″ block
While we painted Susie told me about the two huge, beautiful semi-ferral cats that she just adopted and some outrageous tales of blogger misdeeds that I won’t repeat here. It is an interesting subject though, what one choses to share on blogs for the world to see (as if the world is so interested) and how it can affect one’s life when it goes too far.

What a great time you both had and really different styles. I also love how she did your hair.

Fun to see the different ways each of you handle facial details and shadows! I love your curly red locks!
I have read a couple of things about blogger misdeeds, I guess those that don’t use respect in the real world aren’t going to be any better in the cyber world. All of my blogging experiences have been so positive!

Sorry I missed last night Jana – these are quite good and I would’ve loved to hear the blogger conversation. When I first started reading your blog, I somehow felt that you we’re revealing yourself too much for the world to see but now I’m much more relaxed and look daily. Please don’t miss a single day!
Love,
Judith
