First Winter Snow on Cairnsmore. by Fiona Phipps

That's really attractive Fiona. Well caught.

This is really good....let yourself go on this one. Fresh ,loose and inhibited with the brush and colours. A gem.

I can see a sense of urgency in this one Fiona, I do like the 'painterly' brush strokes, particularly in the sky, nice work.

Thank you Jim, wasn’t sure whether it looked too busy. Lol....yes I did Andre, thank you. Urgency? Yes Alan, tried to catch it before it melted! I took the advice you often give, and got it on the canvas! Thank you darling.

Great colour Fiona, standing back and it all comes together beautifully. It cold out there.

Ooo Fiona, it's been really cold and sunny here today but at least we ain't got the white stuff 😶 that's a lovely impressionist painting though and love the colours, ☺

Love the palette in this one Fiona. It really is lovely & fresh -and rather cold!!

It's gorgeous Fiona! I love those colours and wish that I could use them too but every time I end up with darks and brights.

So you've got the first snow Fiona - "lucky" you. Very desolate and wintry. It's good to have a break from a large project, it refreshes the mind.

Yes a very cold morning John, lovely bright clear day though. Thank you. Thanks very much Linda, Carol, Satu, Adele.......they say we have a bit more to come tonight!

That’s lovely Fiona. Love the loose look. A bit like Haidee-Jo Summers work.

Ooh...YES! Jealous.

My goodness Brian what a compliment, I wish! Thank you very much. Lol.....Marjorie you’ll get some snow before long I should think. Thank you very much.

It's great Fiona. I sense you’re on the road to freedom.

Really good, bold brushwork and colour Fiona. I like :)

Lovely painting of what to expect this winter. Great feeling of the cold up there.

Go away for a few days & wow have you been busy ....this is brill!

Beautiful colours and lovely style.

I love this loose approach and those colours are gorgeous. It's trying to snow here in Cheshire tonight do it's on its way down!

Caught my eye straight away Fiona, lovely spontaneous work with fantastic energetic brush strokes.

Like your loose approach - very impressionistic Fiona - like it

Lovely composition and beautiful palette Fiona. Love the looseness of this one. Great job.

Bet you were waiting and anticipating and it shows first class Fiona

That's a good one Fiona, shows the cold stuff well! Some great colours makes it feel cold just looking at it!

Good work, Fiona.

I really like this, Fiona - especially the texture and your use of impasto gives the composition a wonderful feeling of dimension.

I am Michael, thank you. Many thanks Louise, Syd, Sylvia, Sandra, Annette, Barry for your lovely feedback, always appreciated.

Thank you very much Maureen, Kal, Dennis.....you’re right there, Margaret, Cesare and Wib for taking the time to leave such lovely comments.

Lovely fresh , winters textures, Fiona....I like this very much! Can see you enjoyed doing this!

Smashing! I am running out of words and my hands are cold! I really like this. It certainly brings out the season, up there, in the cold.

Thank you very much Chandra and Gudrun for your lovely comments, much appreciated.

Fiona, so cold ...please keep it up there. But a super pic.

Thanks very much Sylvia, there’s plenty, let me know if you want some sending down!

Very good indeed Fiona beautifully fresh and loose
