With the new month comes the start of the Festive Season. Shops shops and more shops, instead of or as well as snow snow and more snow. Painting snow is not always easy, but to someone who is in love with colour, it can be a problem. It takes an interest and a love of nature to put together the coldness of the winter weather with a view of the life which is trying to keep going in the cold. My interest in nature and eco systems stimulates me to photograph, and paint scenes in this a very harsh winter. And it as just started.
