©2012 Carolyn A Pappas, Silent Night. Ink and watercolor, 4 x 6 inches.
Now that I don’t have a studio with everything set up already, it’s getting tough for me to paint in watercolor in between all the baby stuff that I do every few hours. But yesterday, Cate took an extra long nap and I got to do a little painting. I did this for the January Virtual Paintout challenge in Summit County, Colorado. It was a good opportunity to paint a snow scene. I’m thinking I might use this painting for my Christmas card next year. The reference image was cloudy and gray, but I turned it into a night scene. I also took liberties with the trees as you can see.
Love the blues and the pen work on the trees. Looks very winter!
This is wonderful and would make a great card! I am amazed that you can do any art at all with a little one. I remember those nap times. But usually I needed a nap too!
Thank you both. I am trying my best to still be able to do some art even though I am a lot busier these days.
