Snow Queen - 30 Minute Study


12x9 oil on paper
$50 + s/h - sold


Getting back into the groove of things today. The dancer here is one of the two snow queens the Austin ballet has performing in their Nutcracker. This was a great way to warm up after a break from painting. Setting a timer makes me see the big picture and not get caught in details. I literally paint for 30 minutes and then its brushes down. I wish I could describe why this exercise works so well for me. I am suffering a little disconnect though between doing and talking about. I will try again tomorrow!

  2. It's fresh, clean, lively and as far as I'm concerned finished. Why would you want to do more?
