today

Today I have the blahs.
I'm letting a very short haircut grow out and
I'm about three weeks past due for my usual haircut.
I have way too much hair all from the ears up.
Sort of like a Q-tip.
Needless to say, not a good look.
I hope I can persevere.
I have an appointment with my hairdresser tomorrow so hopefully
she can do something to make the next six months bearable.
So my hair and I hid indoors today and worked
on some sketches for my new series of portraits.
I have this really cool (to me) idea in my head but
I'm not quite sure how to execute it to get the mood I'm looking for.


Know what I mean?
No?
Me neither.

Here are a few shots of my day with my trusty sketch assistant, who's hair always looks fabulous, by the way.








She says this one has hair like me. I agree!

I really like your sketches! If your hair looks like the last sketch than it must be very pretty indeed!

OHHH! Love kitty's expression. Sorry about the bad hair day[s]. They are no fun. But there are always cool scarves or hats?! I have worn mine long for so long but am well aware what I look like with short, shorter, shortest. None of that is for me. I am a long hair kinda gal. Your sketches are so wonderful!

I haven't had a bad hair day in quite some time (which probably coincides with me not wavering from the same style for quite some time) but OH do I remember how it would give me the blahs! No fun at all :-( Keep busy making your lovely art and it'll grow back out before you know it. :-)

Ha!! you've not had a bad hair till you've dyed it from black to turquoise, bleaching it 6 times and then having to cut off half your head of hair, and wait 2 years for it to start looking healthy again. thats bad ;)

Love your latest sketches, your ladies are getting more and more beautiful, can't wait to see more paintings!

hugs
