Holiday Snowman No. 2, ACEO, 2.5 x 3.5 inches Original Watercolor NFS Watercolor is so easy to overwork.  So a few of my earlier snowmen didn't pass muster.  But then this fella happened.  Glad to meet him, he had so much to say.  I'll probably paint in oil tomorrow.  Oil...my best buddy in the art world.

6 x 6 inches, Oil on Board Click to Bid A painting from one of my recent road trips to photograph inspirations.  I was challenged by the steep wooded hill behind the buildings.  Trying to capture more cast shadows in my paintings.

4 x 4 inches, Oil on Board Available through Paypal It's still winter outside.  At least it stopped snowing.  To pass the winter, I've been going into old sketchbooks to make some new paintings from and today's is no exception.  Although I intended to stay with painting a solo adult deer, a little fawn face kept emerging, so I decided to go with it and added some spots.  Below is the sketch. This deer was right outside the studio window.  I'm so blessed to live on 4 acres of woods.

4 x 4 inches, Oil on Board   I know that bees are NOT out flying around this time of year making snowballs, but I couldn't resist not creating this piece.  Probably because yesterday, we woke up to about a foot of snow and the kind that packs pretty good for snowballs.   I enjoyed snowball fights with my brother, Mark as it was the only acceptable way to get even with him!

4 x 4 inches, Oil on Board Another pair of Big Bottomed Bee girls.  These ladies are ready to go ice skating.  Yes, I know bees don't ice skate, but the BBB's do!  They have matching boots, mittens, antenna muffs and poodle skirts.  The snowflakes reflect their wintergreen attire.   This painting will be up for auction on Daily Paintworks.
