"You Are Here"
4 x 6
Detail
I've been bit by the painting bug lately, thanks to the weekly art and imagination found over at Paint Party Friday. . . big hugs to Eva and Kristin for their time and dedication in hosting this beautiful community.
"You Are Here" was inspired by the directional maps often found in large malls in which a red dot shows the pedestrian (or lost shopper ;) their location. I used both Golden Acrylics and Caran D' Ache watercolor crayons in addition to a bit of Stickles glitter on the heart, er dot . . .
Thanks for stopping by: to see more painterly pieces, check out the Party for yourself . . .

Hi Kristen, She is super cute with those big eyes! Love the colors. Glad to see you at PPF! Theresa
Very cute :) I like those big eyes too and the subtle shading is lovely. :)
She's so cute! I especially like her big eyes and the purple-y color.
Oh she's a cutie, Kristen! Love the 'You are here' and the button over her heart, sweet sweet sweet!
Great shading on her face - you make it look so easy (but I know it isn't)!

Clever girl!!
Happy PPF Kristin. Loving your idea of the red dot, but this little girl reminds me so much of your lovely daughter. Annette x
What a great piece. Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning!

So cute! What a great sentiment for the piece and the title. You should make greeting cards with this image.
I love it! Very clever, you are here, on the heart. I always love the colors you use, so bright and cheery!
Love her! She is so cute and the sentiment is fabulous too. Lovely work Kristin!
I find your piece this week very clever and so delightful. Happy PPF!
She is so cute! Great eyes - with all the yellow and gold, she reminds me of the photo of your daughter on the sidebar. Lovely!!
WOW! She is fabulous!!!!!
What a sweet, beautiful painting.
I really love it.
I also LOVE maps, so was immediately drawn in by the title "You Are Here!" Have even had a solo show myself with that title. :)
Happy PPF!!

She's adorable. Those big Liz Taylor purple eyes just pull one into the painting. I like the sparkly heart.
She is lovely Kristin - those eyes!!!! and a lovely sentiment having the dot over her heart.
Happy PPF x
This is such a beautiful idea - the placement of the red dot over her heart is perfect!

So pretty! I havent had time this past week to play with pages and paints and I miss it terribly. How is school going lately for your sweet little daughter? Is she excited for Halloween? Costume? :)
Wow, those eyes!!!! Such a cutie.
I do really love your works!!!! Pretty indeed!
I LOVE the concept behind this piece. The ideas of knowing right where you are, even though you are lost is thought provoking. It begs the question. Do we ever really know where we are?
I love the look on her face and the big hair :) Nice idea using one of those dots! :)
she's a SWEETIE face..Love it..so vibrant..her eye's are amazing.
I'll have to check out the blog challenges..
She's adorable Kristin!! I need to check out this challenge. looks like a lot of fun :)
xoxo

Hi Kristin! Thank you for your comments about the new look of my blog. I am in the beginning stages of a new project that I am hoping will work out well, so I thought I would give my blog a makeover. I mailed the doll last week or perhaps the week before, I can not remember at the moment. *smiles* It should be there soon.
Very, very sweet and cute, Kristin. Loving your adorable works of art. :)
Dear Kristin-thanks so much for stopping by my blog-and your well wishes. I am still trying to track down the new Somerset issue!!
