Face Art

I haven't really had the time or energy to paint. I've doodled. That felt good to just scribble and relax.



But it's been hard. I've felt really busy with kids, work, busy schedules now that they're in hockey, drama, Beavers and Brownies...it's hard to find the time. Or more specifically, the energy and inspiration to paint when they go to bed. I need to though. I know that. I just don't know how I can do it yet.

I did have some fun painting their faces recently. I bought a face paint kit from Michael's called Snazaroo. It is awesome as it's just like painting with regular paints and it comes off easily.

I experimented with some of their designs first.



I painted scratches and bruises on Jackson so he could be a beat up version of Thor.



Riley was a zombie Prom Queen. I tried out a couple of designs.

This one would have been better with the teeth being shorter or going into darkness so there was depth. Next time.



Riley wanted brains showing through her forehead. I'm happy with how this one turned out.



Painting faces is fun and it's really made me realize how much I miss painting.

I need to find that energy and time.
