Gives insight into work in progress. I especially like the glinting on the snow.

It will be fascinating to watch this develop. Hopefully you will post an intermediate stage or two.

Thank you guy's, I wasn't expecting any response, but that is encouraging. Yes Tony, I'll post another but it will only make 3 stages probably.

I love the sense of distance in this WIP Alan, and the touches of yellow contrasting with the blue.

I don’t often post a work in progress, but I know that a few of you like to see the early stages of a painting. Same theme as my posting yesterday, a view from my lane and worked up from sketch book scribbles made at the scene. This is the first layer, laid on rapidly to establish the composition, tone and focal point etc. It is, or will be a snow scene eventually, the bend in the river (not very clear yet), may act as the focal point. I need to let this first layer dry before I can continue. One reason that if I’m not working alla prima, I always have two or three paintings on the go! I’m looking to portray a crisp and sunny winter’s morning – but anything can happen! Oil on Talens canvas board 40 x 50cm.
