snow dogs 7 x 7 gouache on watercolour paper.
Do you want to build a snowman? No, but snow dogs -yes! Well there's not enough snow for anything currently, it's on the way I am sure, until then I'll build snow dogs with paint. This painting pleased me when finished. I captured the girls identity simply by using a few tiny details about each, Ginger looks the sweetest albeit a chubby little snow dog. Arrow got the carrot for her long pointy nose. Poppy big coal eyes Daily dog a big red bow a she likes to be the "pretty girl".
Painting it too was a pleasure. I recorded a time-lapse, (you can see on my Instagram Georgia.Toons)
and started by painting the space all blue, this helped me create the shadows by applying a bold white in layers, working my way around the image as the white dried before reapplying with the hi lights last. The key is to wait until layers dry in between - patience, or your image can become muddy' in appearance. I might paint a snow kitty' as I forgot to add mine to this image. We're 1/2 way to Christmas, no decorations are up but I feel slightly festive all the same. Christmas shopping is done and dinner is being planned, it will be small but merry - I was speaking to some others who have company coming - 35 for dinner! WOW - that's a full house... I can't even. When I was kid, we had big family celebrations that were lots of fun, I also enjoy our more intimate dinners now. The only little ones' have four legs and are easy to please with the gift of a new ball & stuffed toy.
I have paint, paper/canvas and 'time' to use them, I am surrounded by 'Christmas Trees' - over 30 feet tall, I don't need to put up something plastic, I just look out the window. The decorations are the sunshine, snow, birds, & pinecones. I need nothing from Santa.
Be joyful as it is a time to remember & celebrate the Birth of our KING!
