Whoops! A stray white mark that doesn't appear as bright on the original near the bend of the path

Lovely spare palette and beautiful marks and composition.

Thanks Lynne and Shirley. On the palette issue I forgot to mention I only used Raw Sienna, Cobalt Blue and White.

Love it Derek, the low winter light, sparse fields and cold frost. Your palette has worked a treat.

I like the perspective in this one Derek it just carries you into the picture. Lovely colour tones as well, well painted.

Thanks very much Fiona. dennis, Carole and Willie. It was not my composition of course, but that's what attracted me, then the muted colours.

Nice and free and the colours depict the scene perfectly, lovely piece.
