What to do on a snowy day......Paint! by maggie2

What to do on a snowy day......Paint!

A picture I worked on today. I haven't framed it or finished it entirely, but it's close to being done.
I believe it is always the eyes that are the most important and he has an intent gaze. You must be very patient to do all that detail.

The eyes are the first thing I looked at. Wonderful job. Very nice Maragaret.

@miranda @digitalrn Thanks guys. I start with the eyes. If the eyes don't work, then I scrap it and start again.

@faelwen Meta, I taught myself how to paint. There is so much free information on the internet it's amazing. Also if you can afford to take a class, do it. It only helps you learn a little quicker. It just really takes a desire to do it, and practice, practice practice. I decided to paint and didn't care how it turned out because I really just like the process.

This is beautiful

@robv @jonna Thanks for the kind words.
@shenay I'm sorry someone treated you unkindly. I wouldn't put too much importance on other people's meanness. Although I know it hurts.
Put up your art. I would love to see it. No one has complained about me putting up a picture of a picture yet, and if they do...I don't care. :-)
