I love this Alan, the dark colours compliment the snow so well. Your watercolours are always so good - you should do more lol.

Full of wonderful energy Alan , those colours just sing.

Wow thanks everyone, how lovely. I don't paint many watercolours these days, much preferring the texture of traditional oils.

Beautiful warmth to this even though it is a snow scene Alan.

Watercolour 11 x 15in on Arches 300lb NOT. This crystal clear stream flows through Severn Springs to the Sherbrook Valley on Cannock Chase. Unspoilt National Trust land which is home to Red and Fallow Deer, not to mention an abundance of smaller wildlife. Fabulous views to be had from many vantage points, and of course some wonderful sketching opportunities.
