Dollar Store Paint Painting Part 3

I was inspired to recreate this woman from a birthday card I received earlier this year. Wish I still had the card, to give credit to the artist who originated this woman--and to thank her/him for inspiring me to start painting. I love those bold splashes of yellow, red and turquoise she/he used and the dark outlines. Seems that I do so much better when recreating faces from an image or photo than from my imagination, although I've created some interesting original profile drawings. The painting from last week (part 2) was also an original profile. Maybe it's a matter of just practice, practice, practice.

The one side of my collage door is almost covered with paintings. I'm looking forward to seeing what the opposite side will reveal.
