Keeping on with the #DrawYourFriends fun! My Facebook friend from India, Suarabh did an awesome digital painting of me:
In return, I did his portrait as an acrylic painting:
Thanks for looking!

Quick Acrylic Painting: Tamar
I’ve been drawing my FB friends, and some of them have been drawing me in return. We all love selfies, so having a drawing of yourself is twice the fun!
But then, for a change, one of my friends did an actual PAINTING of me! So…. I had to return the favor. Overcame my laziness, got out my paints, and did a small portrait painting of her. It felt great to be working with my acrylics again!
Here are the paintings she did of me…. yup, two of them! The first one she said aged me 10 years. so she did another one. I definitely got the better end of the deal… two for the price of one!
In addition to portraits, Tamar does breathtaking landscape of Israel in oil. Check out more of her work on her FB page Tamar Rund Artwork.
Something new: Decoupage artwork :)
Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of funky artwork using dictionary pages, music sheets, or vintage magazines as the backdrop for some pretty images, either printed or painted on top. To me there’s something very appealing about combining the written word with drawing or painting, and decided to experiment with something similar, although I haven’t seen anything exactly like this yet! So I guess it’s fair to call it “Something new!”
I do think it’s pretty to have the Hebrew letters showing through the artwork, and it’s terribly fun to do all this cutting, pasting, and painting!
And a couple Chamsas, for good luck :) The large blue words say “Shalom” which means “peace.”
I’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions! Please leave me a comment :)
Love, Dena
