my attempt to stop procrastinating and start drawing!

The man with no face
My other half is getting a bit peeved that I'm not painting his features! This was done quite quickly, with a big brush. I think I do need longer at the moment so I have time to assess values and colours properly.
i think you've got it in this one annie,it is loose and has got a wonderful sense of light,vulues are spot on and just enough information...don't worry about the features...they will come
My name is Angie Wood and I live on a narrowboat on the beautiful Oxford canal.
A long time ago in the eighties I studied Art and Design at Goldsmiths College and went on to be a paste up artist and then a graphic designer. I’ve never stopped painting and drawing though – I painted pet and animal portraits for a while and over the past two years have begun creating small oil paintings of vintage objects, textiles and flowers. I collect items from fleamarkets to paint and my little narrowboat is getting fuller all the time! I’m particularly delighted by colourful patterns on textiles and ceramics and I also love painting reflective surfaces. I’m usually attracted to items from the early part of the twentieth century, which bring back memories of my great aunts’ and grandmother’s cosy houses. My artistic aim is to pay homage to the things I paint by observing them as closely as I can, and to create something beautiful that will hopefully make people as happy as I was when I was making it!

I quite like it without the features!
Leaves questions for the viewer to ponder.
