Finished Object: Sweet Santa Painting

I was feeling particularly crafty and very spur-of-the-moment yesterday so I ran to JoAnn's and picked up a canvas. I had a vision in my mind and needed to make it NOW.

So, while Xiris was wrapped up in his new Batman video game, I got to work.

Took me about 3 hours, start to finish. I wish I could get more of the detail to show up for you - the beard and hat fluff are highlighted with golds and pearl whites.

I'm really proud of this one, my own work start to finish, no instruction. I did have to google how to make flesh tones with primary colors.

What do you guys think? I know we're done with Christmas, but I couldn't help it!
