#1. The Drawing
Winter has come and is gone for another year.
This winter I decided to tackle a painting I have thought about for a number of years. I am just finishing up on it, and I thought I would share it with you.
I was inspired by a scene I saw once upon a time. ..The town I live in has many buildings that date back over a hundred years, on a quaint main street with vintage lamp posts. The lights hanging in the trees and the freshly fallen snow gave the town a timeless christmas feel. When I saw the horse and carriage trotting slowly down the street knew I had to paint it someday!
The next few blog entries I thought I would share the making of this painting with you- it shows the progression from start (drawing, above) to a finished painting. I welcome your feedback and questions! Is this a good topic for a blog entry? Stay tuned for more...
