The Winter Queen

Finally finished my Winter Queen painting. Original acrylic painting on acid-free paper 8" x 10". The Winter Queen. She is riding a long-haired yak through an icy blue forest. A cardinal perches on her finger. Full of fairy tale charm. Like an illustration from a lost folk tale. You can find purchasing information for The Winter Queen at My Good Babushka.

Half way through my Winter Queen painting. I like the billowing frosty breath from the yak's nose.

The Winter Queen

I made my Winter Queen based on my own face. I have exaggerated the length of the nose and my overbite a little. I would like to keep a cold and frosty palette.
