These were done for this week's daily challenge on the Daily Paintworks Site.  There are hundreds of paintings to choose from for your holiday shopping.  Check mine out.  

This is actually two sheets with 4 snowmen on each and I think they would look cute framed this way.

Today we had out first snow that stuck...

This is a painting that I did as a workshop piece for the Chesterton Art Center.  We had a fun time doing it.  It is painted on watercolor canvas which is kinda tricky to paint on but lots of fun.  We will be doing another canvas workshop that will be Nov . 16 at the Chesterton Art Center, in Chesterton, Indiana.  The next painting will be a poinsettia and I am thinking of doing another one in my studio of a snowman....hope to see you in class.
