A couple weeks ago I decided to paint a ball ornament. Mindy Lacefield inspired me to try this when she showed how to paint a ball ornament with one of her cute little girls in Christy Tomlinson's last year's Christmas workshop. Of course I knew there was no way I could paint a girl on a round object, but a snowman, I thought, should be easier.
Besides, I really like snowmen. For me they make the cutest Christmas ornaments, cards, decorations. Whenever we hit the snow in the mountains you can be sure that we are building some kind of snowman.
I painted a layer of gesso first and then a light blue background. My snowman, of course, ended up being pretty round as well. Since I like bright light green he got a bright green and red hat and scarf. Do snowmen have rosy cheeks? Well, mine does...
This little guy is available in my Etsy shop.
I'm sharing this with Paint Party Friday where you can find so many talented artists. Why not visit some of them? The list is here.

Hey Carola,
I've been absent from blogland for most of the month, and it feels really good to be back and visiting. I love all your photography, but your photographs of Kaefer are particularly stunning!
