Winter Woodland by Chris Downing

This is well done, great shadows. Good to learn from the experts Chris.

Great painting, Chris. The composition is nice with the angled horizon and I love the use of colour in th tree trunks.

Geoff Kersey, eh? Well, you've made it your own, because there are also touches of other painters in this, not least Ron Ranson (and I mean that as a compliment). A lovely, bright painting; the use of reds and violets warm what might otherwise have been a very cold painting - did you get the composition from Geoff or is it one of your own? No problem either way: just follow the principles in this composition and move forward: but it's a very, very successful picture, so well done.

Ditto all.
