"Winter Moon" (oil on linen; 10" x 8")


click here to buy


I decided to paint a snow painting despite the protests from a couple of my Facebook fans. They haven't quite recovered from the last winter.  Well, I have.  Besides, there is no denying the romanticism of a snowscape!


Not much drawing for this painting.  Straight to the transparent underpainting.

I got this far in less than 20 minutes.  The painting already looked finished.

Finishing the painting turned out a lot more difficult than starting it.  From here to the finished painting, it took two days, tweaking the sky, moon, grass, and snow.  It was the dots that saved the day!

  1. Lovely finished look. Definitely its easy to spit the difference in finished work. Love peace and tranquility in painting colours are calming too. Why you dont upload some youtube videos? It should increase traffic to ur blog. People are lazy in our days to read.

    1. Thank you for your comment. I don't think it's laziness. It's probably busyness of our lives. I, for one, do blogging quickly and log out, instead of check my friends' blogs. I am sorry about that.
