Snow White and the Huntsman Art Contest

Title: Once Upon A time
Size 20" x 24"
Medium: alkyds


Universal pictures announced an art competition on the 4th of May.  I did not hear about it until the 8th and the dead line was the 11th. I got to work and this is my entry. I wanted to make the painting look like a Illustration  from a children's book, only a bit darker than the normal fairy tail. I love when I can use red in a painting and dramatic Sky's are one of my favorite things to paint. I am sure they will be hundreds of entries so I don't hold out much hope of winning. But, I had fun painting it.
