Old Rocker and background paper
Hi All and Happy Weekend to You. Thank you for calling in at Jumbled Crafts along the way. Apologies about the print on my posts-I haven't a clue why it has changed.
A dull day today but plenty of rugby to watch and knitting to do as I watch it so I am a happy bunny.
At Moo Mania and More the theme this time is Hand Painted.

This is for both challenges.
I have never ventured into portraits but I thought it was about time I had a go. This is supposed to be one of the Old Rock Singer that seem to go on forever and appear in the press with huge scarves covering their wrinkled necks, wide open eyes but a sadness that says they are really past their best. The fashion now is that they are fathering babies with their young girlfriends. I didn't base this on anyone at all it just kept growing in front of me.
The cardboard on the right is my palette for the painting and when I had finished I splodged it onto some paper to use as a background sometime.
Have a great day
Love Chrissie xx
Great portrait and a great idea behind it, there of lots of those old and wrinkled e rockers around, it's true! Have a fun day watching rugby and knitting, I am having a quiet home day here. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteLove both your portrait and the thinking behind it - the colours are so zingy, and that palette will make a great background in the future. Funny about the font - I expect Blogger are messing around with something again.

ReplyDeleteHaha- love your characterisation and your colourful portrait.
ReplyDeleteWonderful portrait and I loved hearing your thought process - that's so true :-). You have captured the sadness in their expression beautifully! Your mop up page looks lovely, can't wait to see what you do with it :-). Hope you enjoyed the rugby, Happy Sunday Chrissie! J :-)

ReplyDeleteHaha! Chrissie, loved your description of an Old Rock Singer and you have illustrated him perfectly with the scarf and the eyes.
ReplyDeleteLove it Chrissie, there are so many old rockers aren't they, I'm sure they just want to put their feet up and have a cup of tea lol. Your background is brilliant, I can't wait to see what you make with it xx
