Winter by Dennis Roberts

Really good Dennis, so full of atmosphere you can feel the cold

So good to see both, I really admire your paintings as you know

Beautifully painted Dennis.

Many thanks Neil yes I really took the atmosphere of the reference

Thank you Heather very very much and I do appreciate you commenting very much.

Thank you Paul I hope seeing both reference and finished work will help early learners . So they don't fall into the trap of slavishiy copying every detail but interpret it in there own way .

Very wintry. Really like your style Dennis.

Thank you very much Christine much appreciated

So rich in presence of place and portrays the cold perfectly Dennis.

Thank you Dennis for showing your interpretation of the scene…..you make it look so easy. Always love what you do.

Thank you very much Carole much appreciated

Hi Fiona thanks for your lovely comments . Have you rescued any animals lately? I tried to save a magpie the crows were on top of it attacking it I got him but they severely injured him he died in 10 minutes after the attack . Wrap up and take care Fiona .

Excellent Dennis,

Oh that’s dreadful Dennis! I’m sorry you had to witness it but glad you were there to stop the attack, nothing you could do about outcome. I rescued a spotted woodpecker (juvenile) and a collared dove from the sparrow hawk that visits the garden. Both lived to tell the tale thankfully. Haven’t had any young birds this year in my intensive care unit. Keep warm and safe x

Thank you very much David

Thanks Fiona much appreciated

It's helpful to see how you've simplified the scene, thank you Dennis.

Beautiful painting, Dennis!
