Not Led Free

Worked for over 5 hours on this tonight. Portraits use to come fairly easy for me..

Then I found mixed media art and put it down...trying to get back some of those old skills I had with drawing...clearly I need some refresher courses but started this tonight. I was asked to enter a Black History Art Contest at the college I work for...being the gluten for punishment that I am sometimes..I agreed for the challenge and figured no time like the present to get back to drawing and put down the digital stuff and the collaging for a minute...

Here she is ...Billie Holiday..she is only about half way done at this point. 

Time for bed...my pillow is calling me zzz
