1st Place in the Rogers Art Guild 2011 Art Show & Sale!


$150.00 plus shipping
Two Wolves In The Snow  16 x 20  Oils on canvas panel

This painting was one of five that I entered in the Rogers (AR) Art Guilds 2011 Art Show & Sale.

This year we had only 44 paintings entered almost half the number entered last year.

This was a really fun painting, especially adding the snow falling! It was daunting to make the snow as it involved "splattering" my painting with really thinned blueish grey paint.  I learned of a technique on the Art Instruction blog. A person asked how to make "falling snow" in a painting.  Mike Callahan gave the answer that helped me most plus he included links to three of his paintings as examples.  Mikes website is http://www.mikecallahanart.com/

    Thank you, Diana, Carolina! I was surprised that I was awarded first place considering the quality and fine work of the other entries.

    Thanks again!
