#28 for me, and the first ever using liquid clear. Up till this point, I had been using refined linseed oil and applying a very thin coat to get the same effect as the clear. My goal was to speed up the process with this one, and it took me less than 2 hours to make. I do think the overall quality/detail suffered a bit, though. I was trying to create that "impending snowstorm" look like in the Bob Ross original. Overall, this became an exercise in making a cabin. I must have scraped it off and started over 4 times, so it kept growing and growing each time, eventually turning into more of a house. I felt the door should be on the other side so I went with that and added a small path. I also added lights in the windows. This was a fun one to make but I don't really like the clear too much so far. I even wiped my canvas down with a paper towel to make sure I didn't apply too much but it still seemed like there was too much anyways. A fun painting, though. 18x24

Nice snow you painted, the depth you created is very good, nice colors you used, Great job!
Wow, the lighting in this painting is a real showstopper. Great work; you are on a roll!
Thanks for the nice comments! I was actually not super thrilled after I finished this one but I am slowly learning to like it a bit more.
It is wonderful! Snowstorm is coming. It feels it is going to be very cold very soon, so, visitor hurry up to stay warm in the little house.
I think everything is proportional in the painting! Angles on the cabin also very well done! Texture too! It was worth scrapping it 4 times! The final result is great.
Thanks for sharing about the liquid clear!
Considering it is -17C here this morning and will plunge to -31C in 2-3 days, I'd say this was an appropriate time to paint this one. Thanks again for the nice feedback!

Superb effort, the tree in the front is wonderfully detailed. Of the three paintings I made so far, two of them were with liquid clear. I found it easy to apply and to use. You are very right about using too much though, even a thin layer can use some wiping. Great job!
