Description
This is a painting I did for this fundraising auction my church is doing. I'm donating this to be auctioned. It's depicting two 'Mormon' Missionaries walking out in a snow storm to spread the good word of God! (Yay for missionaries! hehe) I know exactly how this feels- I did it. Let me tell ya: Brr!It brings back 'chilling' memories (ha ha)... oO; Pennsylvania winters suck. xD;;
Medium: Acrylic paint
Time: 3 hours
(I put critique discouraged because I'm not looking to fixing it- I like it how it is =.P)

Thank you for including me in that feature. That is a fave painting of mine.
I cried when I found out he died. I love him so much and have admired him for so long. May we all be so cute and kind and tolerant of others around us. And may we all be so happy to move onto the next step, surrounded by loved ones.

Some people would call trudging door to door in weather like that, with a good chance of having many, many doors shut in their faces "stupid". In this case, I prefer to think of it as "determined". Grand pic

That looks very cool, but your painting skills are great. I love the sense of wind blowing the snow at them.

My friend lives in Pennslyvania. She'd probably agree about the winters xD Wisconsin winters aren't any better.
Beautiful painting. I could probably never do the work of a missionary.

Red cheeks and red noses... a familiar sight ^^ Takes me back to Russia. Man, we don't get a lot of that here in Australia. Makes me feel rather nostalgic... .___.
