Friday Face Off: Sunflowers

 I posted this sunflower (one of many in my garden) with the two bumblebees and then someone wrote: "Your sunflower looks very surprised!" Can you see the face, too?

I have several sunflowers in my garden, scattered all over the veggie beds. I didn't plant a single one of them, but they grow by accident from the sunflower seeds in the compost. The compost is where I empty the parrot food bowls. So my parrots help with gradening and I think, they did a great job.

Friday Face Off (FFO): Eurasian Jay

 Hello and welcome for Friday Face Off, hosted by my dear friend Nicole. I have some Eurasian Jay portraits for you and I hope you like.

The one below somehow reminds me of Uncle Carl-Eugene from the family portrait gallery or something. :D

Pretty sure I showed you this little watercolor portrait already. It went through all stages of ugly, before it became nice. But the problem is always when to stop, before I overdo the paintings.

Friday Face Off (FFO): Donkey

 I drew this donkey portrait back in March for a daily drawing challenge called #animalmarch. I missed out on FFO so often, that's why I share this cutie so late with you all. Hope you enjoy it despite of my delay.

Friday Face Off (FFO): Portrait Challenge

For the weekly portrait challenge on Bluesky last week, this "Portrait of a young woman, drawn with pastels on paper by Federico Barocci, sometime between 1585-1590" was the reference. I fell in love with her and tried my best, but portraits are so not up my alley and they aren't something I practice very often.

 

I think the main problem is her left eye, the rest is ok.
