"Softie The Snowman" 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Gessoboard Sold - Thank you I felt like painting a snowman today, because looking out my studio window is like looking at a snow globe.  Not a blizzard mind you, but large, fluffy snowflakes falling gracefully from above.  Good thing because this poor snowman has started to melt and needs reinforcements. 

ACEO, 2.5 x 3.5 inches, watercolor $ 12.00  Buy on etsy This might be my last snowman of this year.  I've got some wonderful bird pictures to move to and I'm anxious to get back to my oils.  These snowmen served me well though because I had a week full of appointments and not much time in the studio.

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.

Holiday Snowman, ACEO, Watercolor Sold - Thank you Thought I try my hand at watercolor again.  Snowmen are especially popular during Christmas.  Really, who can resist a smiling snowman painting.  I so admire the work of the children who create them.

The Rare Snowman, 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Panel Sold - Thank you! It's a warmer day today and the one snowman in the neighborhood is not faring well.  In addition to melting he's got a problem with one of his twig arms.  I take Cooper & Cookie for short walks several times a day and when I saw what was happening to this guy, I knew I had to make a painting of him.   While returning home, I pondered  how many snowmen are not created because of video games.  I know that I don't see them much at all.
