| Pirate Nutcrackers Acrylic on masonite, 4x6 sold |
Thanks to an old school friend - I have some fabulous new nutcrackers to paint!! Her son Leo collects them - and he has some really great ones! The pirates jumped right out at me with their peg legs and hook hands! My son’s school team is the “Pirates” - so I naturally must paint their mascot! These pirates are sharp dressers, and their clothing was super fun to paint - and the one holding the treasure chest actually has blacked out teeth! And those wonderful eye patches - they are just so creative! How fun is that? I am still working with the limited palette - and small to accommodate my *tiny* painting window. Painting is my reward after exhaustingly busy days - and I’m already making my mental to do list for tomorrow! Painting number 1076 in 1076 days.
