Starving Artist Forum

Gone with the Wind is one of my all time favorite books made into an epic movie! The story, characters and colors continue to inspire me. So when faced with a landscape challenge I decided to paint my favorite scene.

This was not easy with my 3 year old son peeking over my elbow and insisting it was indeed his turn to paint now. Trying to paint in arm's reach of chubby fingers is a lot harder than it seems! But my painting and sanity survived!

This is the result of my labors. A watercolor base with black acrylic watered down a touch for silhouette. It is remarkably like the original and frame-able at 11X14 inches in size. I will be looking out at Tara with Scarlett and her father for a long to come now that this work is finished.
