First frost

Nice one Michael. Love the simplicity and technique.

Nice watercolour, the texture of the paper adds to it, possibly due to the relatively small size.

Like Stephen, I love the texture of the paper and the simplicity.

Lovely painting Michael

I do agree about that, Michael, and it's maddening when you forget to do it, certainly can help the balance. This is a lovely painting, whether helped by the paper texture or not, your touch is light and enteirely appropriate. Some paintings have a special quality and to me this one does.

Thanks all - I do appreciate your kind comments

Super little watercolour Michael. I remember one you did some time ago which was similar, it too was extremely effective in it's simplicity, I think it was either a single bare tree or a stump in the snow? It was also beautiful. I can't seem to find it in your gallery.

Love the textures and the colour, lovely simple clean painting.

Thanks Fiona and Carole. Fiona - not sure which one you mean - could it have been in the 2011 gallery - the nearest I could find to this one is at: http://www.painters-online.co.uk/gallery/picture.asp?id=50763

Yes, that's the one Michael, have you deleted your 2011 portfolio? Nice to have a look at it again, minimum input, maximum output!

Nice one Michael..... clean simple statement........ says it all with minimum work......very good.

Fiona - it's still there at http://www.painters-online.co.uk/gallery/album.asp?id=12345 To get to it you probably to type my name in the Users Name search at the bottom of any gallery page.Then click on the cartoon image that appears - bit long winded and not very satisfactory but can't see a better way of getting there quickly.

Thanks Michael found it.......really enjoyed having another look at your paintings!

A lovely piece, Michael. Beautifully atmospheric.

A small study quickly done. Watercolour as it should be. Like your style and portfolio.

As you say a small study quickly done. Watercolour as it should be. I i like your style and portfolio.
