I was house bound yesterday, due to weather and avoiding the Christmas crowds in town etc, set up this scene and got stuck in throughout the day. It’s an imaginary scene, old fashioned looking landscape I wanted it to be quite illustrative, think I’ve succeeded so .  Basic sketch and base colours added .
And so we move into the next phase, I originally thought of the standard winter trees , bare branches etc behind the buildings, but decided to use Scots pine . They have such wonderful shapes to then and stand fine as a single loaner tree or in small clusters.
This is as far as I managed to get yesterday, I had intended finishing it off today but ended up looking after a sick granddaughter. Added some details , on the barn , like the idea of the snow sliding down the steep pitched roof, most barns in snow areas we’re set with a high pitched roof for that very reason , less weight on the roofing beams etc .
Looks very good Paul, very sorry about your granddaughter. Hope she is well again soon.
That’s looking really good Dixie. 
I'm liking where this is going.
Thank you Sandra, Tessa and Susan , I appreciate your comments . Just had a little bit more time on this , think another half hour or so will see it off .  Sandra my granddaughter is a lot better today, can’t go to school as their rules are must stay away for 48 hours. She had a school trip to Germany on Wednesday and came home Sunday night, think it’s mostly overtired and probably not eating properly when away. 
It's looking very good Paul
Interesting seeing the progression Paul. I'll look out for it on the Gallery.
Brilliant.  Looking back at that first sketch, I just had no idea you were going to produce such a splendid winter landscape.
Opps.  Duplicate comment deleted. Clumsy fingers double tapped the post button.
