I really enjoyed participating in last weeks Sunday Sketches over at Blue Chair Diary and when Saturday night rolled around I grabbed my sketchbook and got an early start on my Sunday submission! This weeks sketch was inspired by a step back in time to the 60's and 70's!
So what exactly from this time period inspired me?
The amazing "big-eyed" artists...artists like Eve, Gig, Keane and others...that took the big, sad and awesomely expressive eyes to create a mod, fun, funky and fabulous look!
After a little "google-searching" I came across a couple of paintings that I merged into my sketch!
This adorable painting by Eve inspired the big-eyed girl in my sketch!
LOVE!!!!
AND
This poor, pitiful, puppy by Gig inspired the "Poppy Puppy" in my sketch!
Changes, tweaks, twists and my version looks like this...from close up to completion!
"Poppy Puppy Love...Sharing a Secret With My Best Friend"
shhhh...it's a secret!
Awww...Poppy Love!

And now the question...to add "pops" of color or to leave in it's "sketchy Sunday" state?!
EYE would love to hear how you SEE it?
