Lovely painting, Fiona! You are lucky not to be surrounded by the white stuff!!

Love the looseness of this excellent spontaneous piece Fiona . Keep safe and warm much the same weather here but maybe not quite so cold.

Very brave to go out Fiona, Super picture.

Lots of snow here! Strange, as we’re on the coast.Glad you’re posting again.

Very attractive painting Fiona.

Lovely to see your work again Fiona. So brave to go out and produce such a spontaneous, natural, painting.Too cold to go out here as there is so much snow around. At least it gives off a nice bright light to be able to paint.

I like the effect of the ice crystals in this lovely watercolour Fiona. Very cold here too but with a small sprinkling of the white stuff.

Lovely work Fiona

This is really very good, lovely sketching !

Super Fiona love the marks and spontaneity in this It is a bit bitter out there isn’t it! Hope you had good hot drink with you!!

Many thanks to you all for your wonderful support on my little sketch. It’s good to be posting again Marjorie, hope I can keep it up. Rachel, I wasn’t intending to be out long enough to take a hot drink! 😂 Next time perhaps.

It's a great sketch Fiona and done outdoors too, that's dedication!

Love your cool colours Fiona, I like the white spaces, brings it alive .

Lovely impressionistic wintery trees, Fiona!

Don't blame you for not venturing far Fiona, but well done for at least attempting it! Nice work x

Hats off to you Fiona, for going out in cold weather and then turning this sketch out!

Like the style and colouring, Fiona

Lovely straightforward technique. Full of determination. And sence of achievement. Great job.

Oh my gosh, you are a gutsy artist for the love of beauty, and this is a beauty. It's full of joy and exultation.

Beautiful result even with ice crystals.

Plein air? In this weather? You must be Superwoman. Smashing painting.

I love the spontaneity in this work Fiona. Fabulous work!

Woke up to a little snow this morning here, and I won’t be painting out in it any time soon, so hats off to you Fiona! This is lovely and looks very chilly. 🥶

Lovely effects from all this cold Fiona

Thank you very much everyone, so glad you like it. It’s raining today, and turning to ice as it hits the ground…..still no snow! It’s Scotland for goodness sake! 😕

Lovely sketch more so painting cold in conditions, braver than me! 👍🥶

Super textures !

William, Andrew……appreciate your lovely comments, thank you.

I feel the cold coming from you Fiona in this 'Quickie'. Great colours and very atmospheric. I hope you have thawed out now?

Hi Jennifer, lovely to hear from you. Just about thawed out, but it’s still quite cold here. Thank you for looking me up and your kind comment.

love you free style

Thank you Manus, much appreciated. Happy New Year to you!

Plein air sketchbook a very, very quick one! Didn’t go far to do this, about 100 yards, too cold…….not easy when the paint turns to ice crystals, gives a pleasant effect though. Still no snow but hard frosts and minus temperatures for over a week. Hope you are keeping warm.
