A happy Christmas to you, Alan - and Lily, of course - and thanks for another typically rich oil painting.

Merry Christmas Alan, doesn't look like we'll be getting any of the snow you've portrayed so well here though.

Alan this is exceptional really beautiful

Posted by Dennis Rounding on Fri 25 Dec 08:28:58

Well, since you never give me any compliments, you're certainly not getting any from me for this, ' Sunday painting ' rubbish !

Posted by Michael.P.R Stephenson. BA. ( Hons ) on Fri 25 Dec 23:07:24

Oh, what a nasty comments this is, this is not done. This is a very strong, atmospheric work in my opinion, Alan. My best wishes to you too :) Mia

Posted by Mia Ketels on Sat 26 Dec 09:35:18

Mr Stephenson's comment is spiteful and ignorant in equal measure - this sort of remark has no place on any online gallery, and I for one have had enough of it.

Posted by Robert Jones, NAPA on Sat 26 Dec 09:49:20

And a very late Merry Christmas to you Alan. May you enjoy a peaceful and happy 2016.
