A finished candy cane

Awhile ago I posted a sketch for a candy cane painting I was working on. The painting is finally finished (well, I actually finished it three weeks ago but had it at the print shop to have Christmas cards made) and I'm pretty happy with it. Is it exactly what I'd hoped for? Well, maybe not quite. Am I okay with that - yep.


For those of you that like technical details, the original is painted in acrylic paints on an 11" x 14" wrapped canvas (which means the painted border wraps too). This is a photo, not the actual scan, but will give you a pretty good idea of how it turned out.

If you want to try it out for yourself or know a young artist that might want to try their own color scheme on it, the sketch is now available as a coloring sheet on my website.

Have fun! I sure did.
