Christmas snowmen 2010

This was the first picture I ever painted off the top of my head.  I had no other pictures to guide me...and for me that is very difficult. I am NOT an abstract painter. I can not just paint whatever comes into my head.  I NEED something to look at to make sure I am doing it right. So this was very hard for me. It took me about 2 1/2 hours, but I was stressing the entire time.  We wanted something to put over the fireplace with our snowman, so this is what I came up with.

It is done on a 12x12" older picture that I found at goodwill. I hated the picture but loved the frame. It was done with acrylics and a heat gun to speed up the drying time.
