Snowed in – Nothing to Do
I’ve been stuck here in the house. We had a ton of snow yesterday and we can’t get out. I’ve been bored. I decided I needed to do something soon or I’d go crazy!
I set up my portable easel in front of the mirror over our dresser, then got a canvas, my pallette and brushes. I opened the blinds so the side of my face would be illuminated. Here is the result of my efforts after a few hours. Note the light and dark sides of my face. Also look for highlights in my eyes.
If you’re ever bored, try it.
