Paint Party Friday: Week 47, Year 3 Check-In

Welcome to Week 47 of Paint Party Friday, Year 3!

This week random.org gave us #84 - Sirkka. Sirkka paints her grandchildren as they grow up and this is a wonderful painting of Uusi!

As always, please make sure to use your post URL address NOT your blog home page URL address as there are many late visitors who get confused as to which post is for PPF when they arrive (after Friday) at your website. If you are unfamiliar with Mr. Linky, an explanation of how this tool works can be found on Week 1 and Week 2 posts.

Have a creative and fun week everyone!

  22. Thanks again for the PPF challenge. Could we please get rid of all the Captcha stuff? Almost half of the artists are using it now and it adds so much time and effort to commenting on their lovely works. It is so bothersome I may just visit those who don't have that. I don't have any trouble with spammers on my site. If a sales thingy appears, I just kick it back off.

  27. Wow, I am inspired to try to paint people. I am sure glad that you posted a portrait. I am never sure how to use colour effectively on painted portraits! My faces often turn out piggy pink! You have done a marvelous job of using colour. Drool!
