Big Daddy -  Day 8  30 in 30 Paintings

Big Daddy
Pastel  8x8
 
Looks like Big Daddy has the same problem I do--he ate too much Christmas cake, cookies and candies and now he's having to pay for it.  It's time to hit the treadmill and eat tofu.  But he's still smiling and has a great attitude. 
 
I have a dilemma and need your help.  Before I started this 30 Day Challenge, my intention was to paint "Fruits and Vegetables" in oils, but then I got snow on my mind and all of a sudden, these little snowmen popped into my head and started begging to be painted.  So I agreed with them to paint a few and then move on to my intended oil paintings of good things to eat.  But--those persistent little snowmen are just dancing around telling me how they want to look, what they want to wear and even the color.  So my question is:  do I change over to my previously intended path, or do I let the snowmen win and bring them out to parade before the world:  I'll wait on your answer!  Better hurry though--we've got 30 days to cover. 
 
Thanks in advance for your help and for visiting today!

  1. I have enjoyed all the different personalities of your snowpeople! I say go with whatever you are feeling at the time you pick up your brush! What a wonderful time of year to take the time to express yourself! Judy Burrows

  3. Another cutie, Judy. I love seeing the snowmen. How about 1/2 and 1/2? Start the good food on the 15th. Maybe I will be ready to start eating healthy by then. (Made a pan of brownies today for no good reason.......)

  5. Judy...I must confess that I wasn't too enamored with the snow persons, but they have grown on me. I really liked the snowgirl and as always your skills seem to draw a personality out of anything you paint...whether a boat, a canoe, a flower, or a snowman. I agree with others who have commented. If your brush wants to paint a month's worth of snow persons, don't try to hold it back!

  6. Your snow people all have so much personality! I can't believe that they haven't made it start snowing yet. Thinking of what to paint for this challenge is the hardest part so I say you should paint whatever you are in the mood to paint when you pick up your brush or palette knife.
