Statue of Liberty Nutcracker

This is one of the sweetest nutcrackers that I have had the pleasure to paint!  Having primed all the panels in the manner I prefer most, I am in my element with my paints.  I can paint on many surfaces, but I love the way this kind of texture grabs the paint from my stiff brushes, when layed down almost flat.  It reacts in ways that could never be the same way twice, which makes every painting unique!  What shall I work on next?  Painting number 1450 in 1450 days.

Nutcracker Family!

What a super fun painting to do!  Each nutcracker of this nutcracker ensemble represents a member of a family, and together, this is really a family portrait unlike all others!  I must say, the artist complete with his palette, paintbrush and easel is my favorite - but each is full of so much character!  It is a wonderful idea to find nutcrackers that take on the personalities of family members!  I think I will be on the lookout for my own "family" gathering!  This painting makes 1430 in 1430 days, and now back to work!
