Did a little bit more work on the snowy painting today, fixed the perspective on the sled (it actually has some now, lol) and added the guy trekking up the ridge. I still don't really think the sled/dogs/hiker work well and they kind of feel like they've been tacked on at the end. At this point though I think I'm going to do more harm than good to it if I carry on, so I'm going to call it done, at least until I have a little more talent to get it looking right.

Looking at all that snow was making me feel even colder than I already did, so I wanted to try something a little 'warmer'....lava. I went with what was supposed to be a pretty quick colour study, but it ended up taking longer than I had anticipated (about 2 hours or so I think), and I still feel like I failed miserably in getting the lava to look right. It is something I haven't painted before though, so I guess I can't be too hard on myself.

I may have another go at a similar photo/colour study tomorrow and spend more analysing things before I rush in and start painting.
