[A] Snow Fairy

This is some folkart stuff that I do once in a while and it's painted on wood with acrylic paints. Yes I know it's a freaky looking snowman.

I think that's really pretty Leeza! Gets me feeling all Christmassy again ^_^

The snowman doesn't look freaky he looks cute. I like the colours of him. It's a really nice scene

The colors are smooth and nice. Looks liek something you would see from a children's book. Say, have you ever thought of illustrating for children's books? You'd probably do well at it.

you must have cropped out the disembodied heads from the picture.

Thank you, Xander.

Kami: That isn't my design. I usually only paint what I see and that was in a book by some lady whose name I don't remember. Folkart stuff is usually quite simple to paint though, but in order to paint illustrations for a children's book, someone would have to write one first.

eestlinc: It's impossible to try to get anything past you.

I wrote a childs story once, until i realised it copyrighted on the TV show "SuperTed" and I felt it was wrong to sell it....but my friedns drew the scenes for that and it was beautiful,it won best child story taht year at my primaty school. I was 10......

Leeza, it is a beautiful picture. It is happy, and brings a form of Christmas feeling to my cold heart. It would look good in a children story...I can see it now

It looks like you really laid the paint on thick. There's a name for that technique, but I forget it. (EDIT: No I don't. Impasto. Thanks dictionary.com.) It looks really nice.

I don't think it's freaky looking! The snowman's cute! Looks like something my mom would adore! (She loves snowmen stuff ^^)

I don't think it looks very impasto at all... I can see the wood grain through the paint. (Which isn't bad, it's actually quite nice! It gives it a nice texture... a homey type feel).

Very nicely done! And hey... if you can do this stuff, then children books wouldn't be a problem. ^^

I loves it!
