Have made some new friends and met up with old friends, seen some great art with a very supportive group of artists. The challenge has pushed me into drawing every day and given me confidence to blog my attempts.
This is my Final Face
At the moment am calling it 'Town Life' until I can think of a better title.
Sketched in Graphite Pencils, palette knife, Acrylic Paint on Watercolour Paper plus a black pen. Did you spot the couple on the roof.......
Just in case you missed Face 28 am showing it again
Am sorry this challenge has ended, but will continue to draw every day because I certainly need the practice. Have now a File for all of the 29 Faces, they are going to be great references for the future, plus the family will want to have a look at them.
To finish this post am proudly showing you a picture of the prettiest face, my great grand-daughter Amy.
Thank you for your company in this great challenge as know I couldn't have done it without all your support.
Am also sharing my final face with Paint Party Friday another terrific group of Artists.
Have a wonderful weekend and take care of yourselves, hugs Annette x

Netty, what a fabulous face to end your 29 faces challenge and well done on completing. It has been great watching you gain your confidence. Look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
Well done, Annette! You hung in there to the end. Hasn't it been fun? I've learned a lot and hope that, like you, I've shown definite growth through the month.
Wonderful painting for your final 29 faces. Awesome job on doing them all, have enjoyed seeing them. Your great grand daughter is a cutie!
Love your final face Annette! The background looks terrific and I like the angle of her face, and how you did her headscarf. I can see at least 2 more couples on the roofs ... ;-) Great work. And Amy is the cutest ...
Beautiful faces!
Well done:)
Your grand daughter Amy is adorable.
Hugs, Heidi:)
Congratulations Netty...you finished 29 portraits. It has been fun checking out each new one as they were added to the collection. I love the colors and hearts you used on 28 and 29 is beautiful. I hope you will continue with this craft. Your canvas work is outstanding.
Congratulations to finnishing the challenge of 29 faces! I have one left. It has again been a great journey this february month. I will look at your faces, my faces, the others faces several times again, it has been so interesting and buzy month! But we will see us even in the future here in the blogs. Have a great time and resting time first!!
You saved the very best until last. Your last creation is fabulous Annette. The painting looks like you have sculpted her. Wow! At first I thought she was one of our Native Americans. I think she is beautiful. I do hope you keep this style up! Congratulations - you did it!!
Your great grand looks just like you - I would recognize that cute smile anywhere. You must have been ten years old when you had your first kid.
Love to you Annette!

Hi, Netty, wow.. both faces are gorgeous! Love the beautiful color scheme. Amy is super cute! :)
WOW! Netty, these are fantastic. I thought the first picture was my favorite, then the second picture stunned me with all the colors. BUT the THIRD face was the cutest and beyond compare!
Well done on getting all 29 faces finished.
Fabulous! Love the paintings and the photo :) Kim
Congratulations :-)Love your final with the rooftops painted in.
A stunning face to end your 29 faces and a beautiful photo of your great granddaughter Amy.

Well done Netty! (Although Amy's face may just shading it as the best!!!!)
A great achievement and they're all fab! x
What a finale! I love the semi-profile of the final face, and those wonderful layered shadows of green and cream throwing her into the foreground... Gorgeous work with the townscape incorporated too - a really fantastic painting.
Amy is adorable too!

Wow, Netty, you have done a fantastic job on all of your faces. I have really enjoyed seeing the variety of your works. The final face is really beautiful. I have trouble naming mine so I usually don't give them names. I love the ggdaughter's smile. She is adorable. Both my sisters have great grandchildren. Lucky them. I don't know if I will live long enough to see that or not since my only granddaughter (grandchild, period) is still working on her PhD.
You saved the best for last Annette!
It's been so much fun sharing your journey. Looking forward to seeing your future paintings now that have have faces under your belt! Your grand daughter is a real cutie pie!
Have a fab weekend. xoxo
What a fab finale piece.....love it Netty. You must be so proud to have completed this challenge...and so quickly
Huge hugs

Beautiful post and fantastic portraits. Lovely colours and compositions. Huge congrats!!!
Wow Annette these are both wonderful faces!! I enjoy how unique they are!
Hugs Giggles
Wonderful faces! Your last one reminds me of Tina Turner in the movie Mad Max - Beyong Thunderdome. Happy PPF!
The top face shows such elegance and strength...I love the 'collage' style you incorporated into the work. wonderful!
Well done on the challenge! I love the city scape that's incorporated into the portrait. :) And that Amy darling is adorable. :)
Lovely work!Your little great grandd. is stunning! Valerie
Netty you made not just only fantastic faces - this last one is amazingly beautiful again-
but you bring so much life to this event with your visits and comments!
Thank you !
xxx Susi
Happy PPF too!
Pretty faces and darling granddaughter!
Truly amazing face! Love the combo of colors and the shapes of the people added in!
Your granddaughter is so adorable!Happy PPF.
What a great ending to the 29 faces challenge! Love the heart faces and your grand-daughter is adorable :)
A great job, I love these beautiful compositions, delicious faces!
Netty, your townscape lady is wonderful (and yes, I missed the couple on the roof, mainly because I was entranced with the lovely lady I think). I imagine that even in the town she has managed to find a secluded leafy spot in a park, where she has surrounded herself with peace and soothing greenery.
You can't know, Netty, how much I have appreciated and loved your comments during the 29 Faces challenge, and valued them. They have meant so much to me, particularly as it was a difficult month with D's minor, but time-consuming, health problems, and I found commenting difficult. Receiving your comments so regularly and faithfully has kept me going. Thank you. (Lovely great-grand-daughter, have you had your four-generation photograph taken for her to see when she grows up?).
