Through the pine trees

Hi Carol, just looked at the comments on the snowman seen, certainly caused a good heated discussion. One things certain your work is defiantly looking great, love the latest.

Nice, Carol, is that dry brush on the trunks, leaving speckles of light ? That works well. You have the trees fading into misty distance and the cast shadows

Carol, it's got it all; depth, texture, tone. You really enjoyed this one didn't you? Lol!! It shows, it's lovely.

This is probably your best watercolour so far. At least I think so. Keep up the good work.

Thank you all for your encouraging comments. Yes Peter -I seem to have stirred up a hornet's nest on the subject of workshops. Jenny -it wasn't a completely dry brush but the texture of the heavyweight rough paper helped to give that effect. Fiona -yes i really did enjoy doing this & obviously learnt more than I realised. Pat -thank you -I too think it is the best painting I've done to date. Let's hope I can now get better & better.

Hi Carol, this is such a nice , natural scene. The shadows, the trunks and the fallen leaves are all painted so nicely. I prefer it to the snow scene, which was also good but this one has the edge for me :)

Thank you Sarah for your kind comments. Hopefully this marks a stage in my painting attempts when I can really produce acceptable paintings. It has taken long enough to get here!!
