A StreetCar Named "Finished"

Here's the final streetcar in the snow. I have to

say this is a first for me...not my usual subject

matter. Especially since it hardly EVER snows

where I live. But I did it for a friend who is going

to give it to his wife as a late Christmas gift. I

hope she likes it.

I added the snow this morning in two different

methods. First, I drew some in with the white pastel,

making some staccato marks, and some longer strokes

throughout the piece. Then, I added some splatter with

some white acrylic paint and a toothbrush...it made the

tiny little snowflakes and white blur. It was fun,

and I think it gave it the right effect.
