Thank you! I started with penciling in a few using part of an oval stencil. Then got off track when using the paintbrush, but ultimately I wanted the scales to be imperfect and organic, so it worked out. 😄

Looking back, it definitely was. At various points during the process … not so much. 😅

Some gorgeous #proofofwork right here! 🍵

24” x 30” Mixed Media Canvas Update: FINISHED!!!!!!

Used metallic copper acrylic paint for scales. Added 22 birds. Signed the bottom and back.

My DRIFTING DRAGON mixed media art is complete!!!!! ⛰️🐉⛰️

I don’t have a place to hang it with the right lighting, so 2 photos: one to show the overall art and the second to show the metallic scales.

Thank you to all who have followed along on this adventure. If you want to see how it went along the way, check out the #mountainroadartwork hashtag.

I look back at how it started and am a bit stunned. But I could not have gotten here, if I didn’t go through there, and I am so very happy with how it turned out. 😍🎉

Not sure I want to work this large again, but I do have an idea for a personal piece I want to make next year that’s at least 18”-20” across. 😬

The outside lights are placed. Christmas tree has lights and ornaments. Fireplace mantle has seasonal-appropriate decor. Profile pic has Santa hat, courtesy of that good doggo, nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w

The Emperor’s Soul is a novella by Sanderson, if you want a shorter read that’s a single story.

Warbreaker is awesome and is a standalone novel, while also being part of the Cosmere.

Day 17/24 - lovely image-appropriate angel whimsies! Bonus that the patterned background was cropped to have unique edge pieces.

GM! Beautiful horses!

Day 16/24 - this is how I usually work a jigsaw puzzle: edges inward.

Since these puzzles are so small (around 6” x 4”) the interior edge will usually have an obvious place for a whimsy piece … like putting the Christmas tree whimsy on its right side to fit into the bottom right corner.
