Snow Day

Yesterday I was successful in signing a painting with the extra time at home, the giraffe picture.  The youngest, A loves it so it is hers. 

I worked on the Japanese bridge and the cowboy "Larry". 

The bridge was a picture I took in Ireland at the Irish Stud Farm in the Japanese gardens.  It's not finished.  I have to add some grass, water lilies and the reflection of the bridge.  I wasn't feeling it yet but after finally getting more detail on the bridge I like it. 

That darned hat has given me fits and I've repainted it 3 times trying to get it just right.  Again, though I've painted too close to the side and will have to frame it in a floating frame, custom.  Drat, but it will be ready for the show in May.  I have a bit more detail and then done!

I really didn't get too much accomplished but it was nice to paint at home again in my newly straightened up room and space.  Being at home all day I worried that the eating might be an issue but keeping busy helped.  The snow and icy streets kept me happily inside but it also kept me from workout.  For some reason this go around I've had a feeling of falling on the ice and I am a faller.  I stayed in this morning too for the same reason and because our street is still pretty icy.
