A lovely scene, you've very much captured the atmosphere of the place.

Some lovely dry brush work in this

Very nice painting Christof. Particularly like the feeling of recession, with mist in the valleys, and the opposition between the warm foreground and the icy backdrop.

"Spring in the Valley" I painted on location at the entrance of the Karwendel valley. The snow on the mountains is loosing the battle against the sun. Down in the valley, the trees and the meadows get slowly back to live. I tried to work with a minimum of brushstrokes and quite a high key dominance of colours. I enjoyed the day out in the nature!
