Winter's Peace - miniature

Winter's Peace
Acrylic on panel, 3.5x2.5
Merry Christmas to all!  On this very busy day full of family, cooking, cleaning and board games - I am taking a quick break.  Most of my company have left, and I have enough time for a quick painting the size of a business card.  Reaching out for peace and stillness - I find it with my brushes in this winter scene. Using some watercolor techniques with thinned down acrylics, it has me wondering  what other methods I can use.  The best part of acrylics is how quickly they dry, and I use this to my advantage.  Almost immediately, I can bulk up the paint with a little molding paste in the snowy areas.  Painting number 726 in 726 days.
