Snow in the Creek Bed
Oil on panel - 8x6 |
Had it not been for the
30 paintings in 30 days challenge, I would not have painted today. I am almost out of panels - and could only find 8x6's on hand. I watched the grandbabies for most of the day, one of whom is coming down sick. I am officially out of all white tubes of paint - except for one, Gamblin's Fastmatte white - which I used here (only because I had to). It has a thicker texture, which I like for the snow. I am also trying a new medium - walnut oil alkyd. I don't use mediums most of the time, so the jury is still out on this one. I painted this from photos I just took close to home. No painting out with a 3 and 5 year old in the snow!
Very nice painting. The Challenge is very motivating. It does push us to the easel doesn't it.
