Inspiration Avenue Weekly Challenge

Hi everyone I'm hosting this weeks challenge at Inspiration Avenue. I decided on Nursery Rhymes. I have not hosted one in awhile because I could not come up with any good ideas. Not that this one is so great, it just popped into my head and so I went with it. Ideas and inspiration happen upon me this way most of the time. I do things intuitively without really understanding why I do it.  For example why I pick one color over another when painting. It's like my hand just reaches for it without much thought. Most of the time when this happens it works. When I try to hard I find it does not work.
I know I'm rambling on about stuff that I'm sure most artist understand. 

My entry is a portrait of Goldilocks.
Goldilocks and the three bears is one of my favorites. I have so many favorites, it was hard to choose. 

"Goldilocks"

My obsession with painting the female face continues.

And my frustration with blogger continues. I have stopped blogging because I  hate blogger. It just does whatever it wants.....like why has the size of my type gone so small????? and I cant copy and paste anymore.

I'm just going to ignore it and go on. I don't have time to mess with this blog!!!!!!

Hugs,
Charlie

  2. Blogger does seem to have a mind of its own sometimes...

  3. I am afraid to go to my blog today! I have been fighting just to get in. Multiple error codes, can't upload pics, posts if I do get in. I tried all last night. I build a crafty site on another platform to see if I could do it myself prior to building one for my art & portfolio. I will probably have to switch platforms. I leave messages in the help forums but never any response or help. Wish me luck today! I love your Goldilocks! Love the color combo too. I'll keep you posted if I move. If you'd like to visit my craft inspiration blog that has been under wraps for now it is dearcreatives.com let me know what you think. xo Theresa

  9. She is stunning! A beautiful piece of art work. She'd make a great illustration for Goldilocks in a Nursery rhyme treasury.

    Thanks for hosting the great challenge this week!

  10. Blogger is giving me FITS too! For th epast 2 weeks my POST button hasn't worked and I actually have to trick it into posting for me. Editing is impossible too. But, I digress... I love your Goldilocks. The expression on her face is priceless and coveys the perfect Goldilocks attitude, I think. Colors are also gorgeous. Thanks for hosting such a great challenge. Nursery rhymes and fairy tales are my favorite subject.
