That’s pretty darn good Dixie! I know how keen you are on PMM’s work And I think this is a delightful take on it with your own super style.

It's really good Paul, I like this a lot

Caught my eye immediately Paul, a super painting.

Thank you Tessa, Heather and Val I appreciate your comment.

This is super Paul. One of your best, I think.

I really like this, very well done Paul!

This is the re. Deal Paul. Love the way you have painted the trees and snow.

Sorry Paul, should read ‘real deal’.

He’d be impressed… as I am Paul! A really good watercolour and one that you should be proud of!

Lew, Lynda , Carole and Alan thank you for your kind comments.

Very good watercolour!

I like this a lot Paul. An excellent painting.

You are producing some superb work just now , love this !!

That is superb, Paul - definitely one of your best landscapes.

A wonderful painting Paul.

Love snow scenes, this is nicely done, Paul.

That's a great painting Paul, and your way is definitely a good way.

Super painting Paul.

Fabulous winter scene Paul, you tree’s especially.

Thank you all for you kind comment I do appreciate each one . I was a bit concerned about posting this but only because I was using such a great artist work albeit my take, so much to learn from looking and trying out some of the work of great artist we have .

Oh thats a cracker Paul. That’s what practice does.

Definitely one of your best Paul, loving those purple shadows. Can I suggest you investigate the Canadian Group of Seven artists; some great snow paintings to absorb.

A really good rendition Paul.

Great work Paul.

Superb painting, like the palette a lot!

John , Andrew, Carole, George and Romila many thanks for your very kind comments.

A super wintery painting, Paul - and such a lovely variety of trees!

Anne and Maureen thank you for your kind comments.

Wow Paul, another fantastic snow picture! I'm absolutely delighted!!! And yes, Peder Mørk Mønsted is surely turning in his grave – overjoyed, in your direction!!

Thank you Tanja for your very kind comment, nice to think that he might give it a little nod of approval.

Gorgeous composition Paul, well done 👍🏼

On the contrary Paul I think he'd be very flattered! I like this a lot, with the subtle colours, and the light showing through the trees.

Thank you Sandra , I really appreciate your comment.

Lovely wintery scene Paul, I like the way you've captured the snow on the trees too

Trevor thank you for your kind comment, I thoroughly enjoyed painting this piece.

A4 watercolour in A3 mount a winter scene based on a painting by Peder Mork Munsted . There is no way I could do a copy of the great man’s work but I’ve long wanted to do something of his , I’ve added a couple of extra buildings and change some colours slightly. I found painting the frozen stream with the ice blocks floating the most difficult part. Hope he isn’t turning in his grave .

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…
