But not all my faces are serious. Here's a quirky pair that I made using the water color technique I learned in the 101 Faces class. Except that I used acrylic paint instead. It was a little more difficult to get a result I liked. But of the ten face blobs I started with, these two managed to capture my imagination:
Finally, my last face for the month.
Although I only managed 21 faces, instead of 29, I'm really glad I participated in the challenge and really appreciate the inspiration given by Ayala, as well as the opportunity to meet some new blog friends. And I'll definitely keep drawing faces in my art journals and other places. If you want to check out some of the other 29 Faces artists, check out this link.
And, the other paint party participants are here.

You have some beautiful journaling on your pages Rinda! Loving Guido and Sluggo!
Rinda, I love your journal pages. You give us a little peak into your world which makes me feel closer to you. I like the quirky mixed with a little life.
This is a great way to keep a journal - so personal and also colourful!
Thanks for sharing your great "Faces" with us - and the lovely journalling. I hope your young lady appreciates what a lovely mom she has (sure that, in her heart, she knows that, but it can be hard when you're growing fast...) No, don't give up on her - she is so worth the love and effort. Stand firm, pull her in close and tell her how much she is loved!
Even I am getting a bit of the "teen angst" from a certain young man - he has his "moments" for sure!
I love "Guido and Sluggo" (what names, Rinda!) and the Big Dog is so cool.
Have a great weekend! X
I just love Guido and Sluggo....though I'm a bit concerned about what their story might tell!!
Your journal page is beautiful as always.
Such wonderful faces, I really like the variety of expressions and techniques you used. And Guido and Sluggo are just fabulous! Especially love Guido's expression. He looks like an funny chap with lots of stories to tell! Happy PPF!
Congratulations on the February Faces challenge! You have such wonderful ones posted here! Glad to hear things are getting better with your teen.
The first one is so moving. Sarah and I went through a very difficult year when she was in high school. I remember it as if it were yesterday. In the end, of course, we worked through it all and the outcome was just wonderful, but the process was hard. Never give up is exactly the right motto! (And I got to use it again with Matt when he went through even more difficult times.)
Rinda ~ fun and creative art work ~ thanks ~namaste, carol (A Creative Harbor) Happy PPF ^_^ ~
Great journalling Rinda...as parents, giving up is not an option..and you will both be so glad you didn't!

Great job with your faces. I think it's wonderful that you did 21. Wow!!
Oh, just imagine years from now when your daughter is grown and on her own, pulling out these journals and showing them to her. It will be an eye-opener for her, I'll bet. Especially if she has kids of her own.
Those paint splotch faces are such fun. Isn't great how much character can bubble up in them?
I see carlarey has already beaten me to it. That's what I was going to say! These pages will be so meaningful to Clara years from now. I'm sure of it
Beautiful work Rinda. Glad you are so enjoying your new ventures. You go girl! Happy PPF
Nice!
Really like the second image with the lovely blue dragonfly in her hair. :)
♥♥♥
Happy PPF!!

Helen @ Natures Walk
so much diversity in the style of your faces. love them!
Great Pages, I really like that quote "Run with the Big Dogs." Happy PPF! #20 Robin Panzer Art Studio 33
Some great pages here and love Guido and sluggo... laughed at the name sluggo though cause here in Queensland sluggo is a nickname for those awful tiny swimmers that men wear... and he looks nothing like that... lol xx
I have really enjoyed seeing your faces and watching how your art work has progressed! And I love that you are journaling about your Clara and including her in your art. There's something very healing about all of that. I'm wondering, does Clara play with art journals at all? It might be a very freeing activity for her as well.
Sending you love and hugs (eh-hm...and birthday wishes!!!) xo
Loved looking though your wonderful faces Rinda... your work is fabulous... so enjoyed the challenge too...
Hugs

Those are great faces. :)Congrats to Bev for winning.
Ha! Guido's my fave!! Great faces & I'm sure there are some cool stories behind them.
Happy PPF!
It was a fun and challenging challenge, wasn't it! A great assortments of faces here.
I too will do more - but not for at least a few days! ;)
oh, fun fun. Like Guido!
Happy Birthday to my wonderful and beautifully talented sister in law! I hope your day is everything you hope for and more! I wanted to get on here earlier, but life has been busy!!! Can't wait to hear if you got the camera, ring or both!!!???
Love You!!!!
Oh my gosh Rinda... I went through that wiht my step girls and I have 2 teens now. Moms of teens have to have GREAT patience, that's just to survive!! But believe me, it gets better after the tornado years.... hugs!
Ups, I forgot to say, I like very much your pieces, all the faces! Thanks for participating on the 29 faces challenge!!!
They are so lovely! Great job!
so special! I like this!
I really like the backgrounds you've created & the faces are full of fun character!
Kat :-)
will you bind up a 'face book' now? tee hee...i have enjoyed visiting your faces here...especially like the background of the girl...happy weekend, rinda
Beautiful paintings, but I really love that background in the second picture! I just read your blog post about parenting! My son was the one who gave me a real run for my money. I think as a parent we want the best for our children, but they also need to find their own identity and at times the direction they chose is not the path we wish for them. Being a parent is the biggest challenge we ever face and I know you are a great mom!!
Hi Maria! Your journal pages are so sweet and I love how colorful and personal they are. Your faces are great and I love that expression of the little dog!
Happy PPF! ~ Jaime
I am liking the acrylics with rub-ons. Good work, love the faces and the pups. Blessings, Janet PPF
All faces are very original, but the last one, the dog is awesomely expressive! :))
Hi Rinda! What I love about this post is the variety! Keep the great work! Have an awesome week!

Guido and Sluggo are so cool! They started from paint blobs? That sounds fun :)
Love Guido and Sluggo but my fav is the little dog....so cute.
Okay so I read this a while ago on my phone and completely forgot to come back and comment - sorry for the delay! :)
I LOVE your pages and am totally honored you linked to me in reference of Jason Mraz. :) Hope things with Clara are getting better - all moms and daughters go through it!
