Oh well, it is a good excuse to paint more winter scenes!

Here is my latest, Winter Solitude.  It is a palette knife painting.

Using a deer photo reference from wetcanvas.com, I began this painting knowing that I had another vision for what the background would be for this deer. In the past I have had trouble breaking away from photo reference and making my own feelings come out. I felt I needed that security blanket as I painted. So with this painting I kept singing How Majestic Is Your Name In All the Earth over and over in my head. I relaxed and let the background "happen." I am pleased with the result.
