After waking up at 3.00 in the morning and not being able to get back to sleep - reached for my sketchbook and Catherine was born.............I think she is of Irish descent............where did she come from? Haven't a clue she just appeared. Pencil drawn and painted in Acrylics............she needed freckles............have never done freckles before and they turned out like chickenpox rather than freckles........... Catherine was not best pleased, so had to dab most of them out...........poor girl...........
Am off now to the Party and see what those fab artists have created............will be back later to check on my faithful and wonderful followers creations..........oooh am so lucky to know so many talented people. Take care and have a great weekend, Hugs Annette x

Hey Netty,
I like her.Nice you can wake up to paint an Imagination lady. Perfect for St. Pattys.
Most Irish gals I know have the flare of the red hair.
Georgeous I say.
Ah, the 3:00 am wake up call. I;m very familiar with that! great idea to get up and paint instead of trying to fight going back to sleep. Catherine is wonderful! Happy PPF Netty! :-)
I also am very familiar with the 3 a.m. wake up call. Netty, this is very beautiful and yes, she is definitely an Irish colleen. ♣

I LOVE her hair, Netty! Would love to see a close up of that texture!

Annette, paint Friday seemed like just yesterday and you already have started a beautiful new painting. Wow...she is going to be gorgeous without the freckles.
Hugs,
Carolyn
I LOVE Catherine- she is a perfect Irish gal, whether you meant her to be or not! And the way you did her freckles turned out beautifully- in real life, some are darker than others....as a freckle face; I can attest to this!
Great use for a sleepless night- mine are usually spent worrying.....
PPF Hugs,
Stephanie
A very pretty Irish! Good for her that you are skillful with your brush and erased the freckles if she wasn't pleased with them. Patsy from
HeARTworks
Lovely complexion, her vitality shines through.
She is quite the Irish Doll!!! Freckles and all :0)
Betty, I love your Irish Katherine! Isn't it funny how sometimes you are the most creative in the middle of the night? Good thing you had a sketchbook nearby or we may never have met Katherine! She is lovely! Hugs, Candy
lol about the freckles! I'd never guess you had issues--this is stunning! Fantastic hair! Hope you were able to get in a nap!
I hope the day comes when my muse allows me to draw from my mind rather than just real life. I like her red hair and eye coloring.
Simply put - she is a beauty!
You started her at 3 am and she is GORGEOUS! Such a beautiful Girl! I love her so much, xoxo
She is very beautiful, delicate features! Love her hair and make up! :))
She is lovely. Her red hair is stunning. Love how you did it. :)
She is stunning! I'd happily give up a few hours sleep to paint something this gorgeous.
Awesome painting Annette, you really have a talent for the eyes especially and it shows in this painting too. Love how real her hair looks too, stunning painting!
She's a beauty! I love her eye shadow colors and the scratches in her hair are very cool. Happy PPF!
Your Catherine is definitely Irish - on a St. Patrick's Day. I love the effect you did on her hair. Very nice.
Blessings,
Tricia
