"I call him my Forest Gnome. 9x12 Stretched canvas. Golden HB acrylics.
This was definitely a fun painting and exercise. I did it upside down as Ginger suggested with just a few tweaks right side up at the end. This was a fun painting before I embarked on a 4 cookie I’ve had on my list. Happy painting loves!"
