Gornergrat railway above Zermatt - SOLD private customer

Gorgeous scene Alix and the epitome of the Alps in all their beauty and grandeur, your rendering of the snow with its shadows is excellent and we are really drawn into the tunnel to see what is beyond

Thanks, Ros. On a good day the action of painting can draw you into a tunnel or vortex! Having spent the morning at a meeting, I'm finding it very hard to work - a double portrait with very tricky skin colours. Snow is wonderful to paint, like clouds, you can chuck almost any colour at it!

Love the light you've caught in this Alix, very dramatic!

What a super crisp piece of work. I recognize the light which you rendered so well - that violet/prussian hue on the evening snow...

I can only imagine how hard that painting must have been with all those shadows and the perspective through the tunnel but you have pulled it off superbly. Lovely light and an almost semi abstract feel to it makes it very eyecatching.

Well, what a sudden flood of lovely comments! Cheered me up on this dark and wet day. Thank you, Debs, Kim and Val. I thought it was going to be so hard to get the snow and time of day right but in the end it was a very enjoyable process. Some paintings can be much more exhausting than others to create.

This is amazing. The contrasts of dark and light and the crispness of it all is superb.

It's all been said. Very very good.

Another dark, wet day that has been brightened by your comments, Dawn and Gudrun! I wish the current work on the easel was half as easy. I keep putting off getting on with it..... funny how the filing suddenly gets done!

You get drawn it to this great piece of work. From the foreground trees your eye is thrown at the snow and shadows. then to the stone at the tunnel entrance. The railway tracks then transport you to through to see what's beyond. Well done Alix.

Superb shadows - love it.
