Building the Snowman

Building the Snowman
Oil on panel, 5x5
This was actually a day where I had trouble getting motivated to paint.  It almost never happens to me.  I have so many "must do" items on my list, that I felt rushed from the moment my feet hit the floor!  After painting easels and priming panels, I pulled myself to the easel.  My panels were not yet dry for the multiple things I wanted to paint, so I started from scratch.  I have been wanting to paint the kids building a snowman for years, and just today have done that - on a small 5x5 inch scale!  Once I got it started - I was really into it!  Sometimes, the hardest part is just showing up at the easel!  Painting number 340 in as many days.  Now - I must get ready for dinner and a Christmas show with the girls tonight!

    Tammie, I am always so amazed at how you can do these paintings so quickly. This is so beautiful with the children in the snow. I like the gentle sunshine amidst the cold snow colors.
