Meet Frost, He is a winter unicorn I did last year. Unicorns are supposed to be graceful but this one has managed to slip on the ice...perhaps there is a little of me in him. This is a 20x30 oil on illustration board with glitter accents in places.It really makes the snow look like it is sparkling. He is currently looking for a home if anyone is interested.

Nice work! I love how you did the trees. How long does it take you to do one of these paintings?

  LOL they are "happy trees" Thank you so much. As for time depending on detail and inspiration anywhere from 8 hours to three weeks. Oils require a bit of time for the paint to "set" between layers so that is factored in there.

  You're welcome. I'm more of a colored pencil person myself (if I even bother coloring) because, well, what can I say? I've never been steady with a paintbrush.
