Artist's Comments

My christmas card for this year. Every year I paint/draw a card for my family, and we take it to kinkos and make em into custom cards and such. This is this year's. I totally had to rush on it, since I don't have paints at school, so I had to do it in 2-3 days over Thanksgiving break. Which is why it looks kinda rushed. Oy. I haven't used paints in over 6 months. e_e;

BTW, this is pretty damn tiny IRL. Hence the lack of detail.

Tempera paints on toned 8"x5.5" pastel paper. Clocked at 10-12 hours.

This is so friggin' awesome. e_e You WILL send me a card. You will....

Eesh. And you complain about not being able to do backgrounds. You can obviously paint them. I can't believe you did all that in ten hours. ;; Loser.
And the contrast is really cool, between the horses and the background. I love how you use the tealness an' all that. It's so comforting.
... In a cold way. >>;

Traditional painting can be so difficult. You did a great job with the detail - especially all the work you put into the background!

Your rushed work with paint is better than just about anything I try with paint. Wonderful job. ^_^
