First off let me state a few facts.
1. I don't own snow white.
2. On a trip to Disney World i took a photo of a painting that looked almost identical to the one I painted.
3. I'm not sure on deviant arts rules involving creating a painting based off a painting already in existence.(if this is not allowed I will remove this painting)
4. I painted this picture using that photograph as a reference, using acrylic paint on a canvas.

OK now for the story behind this painting. My girlfriend(Faerienymph), best friend and I went to Disney World and Universal studios back in October 2005. While there my Faerienymph saw this poster of a portrait of snow white she loved. I wanted to get it for her. The canvas print of this painting was something like $130 or so, quite a lot, and the poster paper print was $30.

My plan was before we went to that nights fireworks I was going to lie that I had to go to the bathroom and run across the park and buy the $30 poster version for her for Christmas. Turns out when I got there it takes about an hour to print a poster and there was only a half an hour till the fireworks show, and not only that they wouldn't be able to get it to my hotel until 2 days later, the day I was flying out so I sadly left with no picture.

But just my luck earlier that day I had taken a photo of my Faerienymph standing next to the painting. The panting was at an angle so I had to deform it in Paint Shop Pro to get it straightened out. After that I printed it and using grid lines made a sketch of it on my canvas...in charcoal. Apparently that was a bad idea because while painting the charcoal mixed with the paint and muddied it up causing me to have to make a few extra coats of paint in some spots.

Anyway after the painting was finished I packed it up for Faerienymph for a Christmas present. It now hangs in her bedroom.

lastly I'm not sure if I am allowed under Deviant Art rules to post such a picture here but I am proud of it and so if its ok would like it to be in my gallery.
