FFO 8/22

 

 Welcome To Friday Face OFF (FFO)

This is the place to show off your face art.

 

It's been a crazy week. Lot's going on medically and the bills are pilling up. My perspective on this is, there is nothing I can do about it. Worrying will only make me upset and more ill. So the bills will get paid as I can. I'm sure some of you know how that is. So, how do I relax and forget about it? I draw.

This week I used one of my AI images as my muse. For me I really like the softness of her face. It starts like this.

 

And finally

I used, graphite, charcoal, paint brush pen for the eyes and colored pencil for the lips.

I also worked on some monster AI art too. Come on, there is already Halloween items in the stores. LOL

I think she is quite beautiful. 

 

I would love to make this in my monster art room

I do have the materials to make him.

 

And so for my readers who don't like dark art and I don't want you to have nightmares. Here is something pretty that I created.

 

Now for some amazing features.

First we have Cloudia. Need inspiration? Head over to her blog.

Next is Arnoldo. I met Arnoldo may years ago blogging. I love track of him and now he is back and is now an Episcopal Priest as well as an artist.

Last but certainly not least 

is the beautiful Melody Jacobs. 

She presents some wonderful blog posts, and is where I learned about 

smashed cucumber salad. LOL

You know what's next. 

It's your turn to show me your face.

Tuesday another garden day

 Hi Everyone!

This morning in my garden it felt like fall. You know that change in the air?

I pulled all of my onions. For those of you who don't know when onions are ready to harvest the tops fall over.

Like this.

However, because of the weather I had onions bolt and the tops become very thick. I received my newsletter from the onion company that reported due to strange weather this year all over the country onions are taking a hit. It's ether too cold or too hot. Onions bolting and getting thick tops. Boy was I glad to get that email. So today I harvested all of my onions. They will have to cure for about 2 weeks.

Squash is still going strong. 

Cucs and pole beans 

Lots of cucs

	This plant is loaded with beans. A hummingbird comes every evening to pollinate.

 This is the beginnings of a cantaloupe. But, I don't think it will have time to mature.

Yellow and winter squash. Hopefully they will have time to produce.

This is what I brought into the house today.

 

I do have a cherry tomato plant but the wind has all but destroyed it.

 

 and not peppers this year either.

OK, with all the trouble growing this year. I am thankful for every little bit I get. 

 

Hope your garden in growing.
