Merry Christmas Paul. Thanks for all the effort you make on this website, very much appreciated. A lovely seasonal painting.

What a gorgeous painting you just get better and better, Merry Christmas and looking forward to more paintings in 2026 .

Beautiful winter scene Paul and have a great Christmas.

Thank you I appreciate all your comments and seasons greetings. I really enjoyed doing this painting a bit different in some ways to my usual style I think , but that’s one of the reasons I enjoyed it . As to the forum well that’s something I feel quite passionate about and would hate to see it diminish, we all work alone most of the time and it good to have a contact point with like minded people.

... and a Merry Christmas to you too, definitely a lovely Xmas card.

As they seay about the weather 'It's turned out well".

All good wishes for Christmas and 2026 Paul. A lovely result here.

A lovely painting Paul and just right for a Christmas card. The dark trees behind the buildings stand out against the snowy background and the light from the windows on the snow is a nice touch. Merry Christmas to you and well done for all you do on the forum.

Thank you all I really appreciate your lovely comments. Tony it’s one of those occasions when what you have in mind works well with a couple of tweaks on the way to the finishing brush stroke.

Nearly missed your post! Good painting, like the light from the window. All the best for Christmas & New year.

It’s lovely. Happy Christmas to you, Paul.

Thank you Keith and Maureen, I appreciate your comments .

Merry Christmas Paul and thank you for creating this painting that says it all: peace, joy and love.

Thank you John , I appreciate your comment.

Thanks Dixie. All the best. Love the scene

I love it Paul! That light from the window works great. For me it is up there with your best. Merry Christmas to you too.

Season's greetings to you and yours, Paul, from Gozo

A4 watercolour in A3 mount, imaginary scene, I wanted ot to look more illustrative than a traditional style watercolour . Think I’ve achieved the Christmas card look , as that is what it was painted for. I hope you all have a good Christmas and keep the artwork going over the coming year, keep safe , well and happy.

I have sketched most of my life on and off I became interested in watercolour following a spinal injury whilst in hospital but did not follow it up. My eldest daughter bought me a beautiful wooden box set of half pans about twenty five years ago I dabbled on and off until retirement twelve years…
