Frosty morning in the New Forest by Derek Snowdon

Wonderfully loose and expressive Derek - nice palette too

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.

A beautiful scene... love your palette.

Wonderful painting Derek, lovely scene, beautiful depth, great palette and nice light and shadows.

Very effective!

Thank you Sharon, Avril, Cesare and Linda

Nice expressive piece of work Derek.

Cheers Peter

So much atmosphere in this Derek, Iove the muted palette.

Brilliant Derek

Fabulous Derek, love it.

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.

Thanks Andre

This is a fabulously flowing painting. Great palette. Have you heard back from the photographer?

Cheers Gudrun. the editor has acknowledged me but didn't say, so I have asked him.
