Thank you Denise , I’m pleased with it despite a near disaster when I dropped very dark brown paint in the bottom right hand corner. I hope you have a good Christmas and have a good time with your family.

Beautiful winter scene Paul and have a great Christmas.

Posted by Shaun Byatt on Thu 11 Dec 07:50:33

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.

Posted by Paul (Dixie) Dean on Thu 11 Dec 08:25:13

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

Posted by Heather Love on Thu 11 Dec 08:29:10

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

Posted by Marjorie Firth on Thu 11 Dec 09:06:58

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.

Posted by Christine Rogan on Thu 11 Dec 14:49:22

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.

Posted by Paul (Dixie) Dean on Thu 11 Dec 15:08:45

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.
