Artist's Comments
From a top her castle in the great mountains she roams downward. Walking the Earth to greet the changing seasons. She knows it is time for the great change! The colors are of browns, reds, and oranges of Autumn, but the trees are becoming slowly dormant.
As she gracefully walks, no, glides across the leaf filled meadows her dress becomes the snow and drapes the land with Winter. However, she greets every traveler with a smile and every animal with a hug. Although her skin is pale and frozen she has a bright heart and gives them gifts of warmth and love. "Although it is my duty to change this old season" she said, "No one shall go without the small pleasures of comfort". She passes two young, small deer and pets them softly, their heart's already growing stronger. They gave each other deer kisses and knew that everything would be alright. For it is the duty of the Arctic Queen, who is the keeper of this season, to protect her lands and everything within them. -- So here it is, I have been working on this painting for the last month and a half. Around 55 hours logged on this one. I don't think the scan does it quite justice but I've been dying to show everyone my new painting  I will get it professionally scanned in a few weeks too. I feel like I have set a new high for myself. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with this type of painting. For me spending more than 25 hours is a lot. So I had to struggle with this one. It went through many stages, but in the end I am very pleased with how it turned out The painting is on Arches Hot Press Watercolor paper. The size is 12x16. I hope you enjoy the painting and the story! They mean a lot to me! Thanks for looking

I'm proud of you Ace. You already know how blown away I am by this painting and I promise you this, that you will remember paintings such as "The Artic Queen" as you reach new mountain peeks with your work. Keep the imagination alive and keep the paint flowing.
By the way, in case you didn't know it, you also have a gift of story telling.
