Acrylic on paper
Isn't it interesting how some paintings take on a life of their own? I started this painting trying a new technique and canvas-like paper which has a coating that I'm not used to and it throws me off. Paint dries really slow and lifts, which could be a good thing. Wasn't thrilled with the result, and thought about tossing it more than once. But after a couple of hours on-and-off work, thought "oh, no I'll have to paint another one". So desparation just keep me smushing paint around and glazing, finally came up with something that I thought I could live with.
I think this turned out really well Nelvia. I love the textures on the grasses and your snow looks so real it's making me reach for my sweater.
