It's still winter here! by Fiona Phipps

Well if it's any consolation Fiona it's cold, wet and windy here too. A lovely loose twig? and wash painting.

A beautiful painting Fiona, it's cold her in SA as well. :)

Once again Fiona, less is more, another really effective pen and wash, love the silhouette breaking up the sky line, I like working with pen and wash and I really enjoy looking at yours, nice one.

Great pen marks Fiona, and yes it chucking it down here too!

I love snow scenes, and this is a beauty Fiona, that limited palette works a treat. I particularly like the distant church and the strong tonal strength of that nearest tree. I like this one a lot, your work is so recognisable and fresh. Good sky also.

So crisp and clean Fiona, truly beautiful! Alan has said it so well and I wholeheartedly agree.

Well I needed something to cool me down and here it is. Nice and simple!

Nice clean work Fiona, perhaps the weather in South Wales is not too bad!

An impressive watercolour Fiona very nice indeed

I'm sorry to hear there are one or two of you out there sharing this spell of bad weather, at least, in my case, it gives me the opportunity to paint! Thank you all so much for your lovely comments, and here's hoping there will be an improvement in the weather soon!lol

As fresh as a crisp winters day Fiona. Beautiful

A lovely fresh pen and wash especially the limited colour scheme- everything is just right!

Gorgeousness.

What sort of paper are you using Fiona. It appears to have a good texture and the dry brush work looks good. Cold and wet here. Must be the school holiday effect but at least they'll be some bargain garden furniture to be had in the sales this year. I hope!

Lovely, Fiona. Really crisp and fresh.

I don't really want to see any of that white stuff for real just yet but I rather like it in the form of your lovely pen and wash :) Cold, miserable and wet here too, central heating is on!

Wet and cold here in the Midlands as well - even had the heating on last night for the first time for a while - anyway its a beauty - love the pen work Fiona

Thank you all very much for your lovely comments....much appreciated.

Lovely! Lovely ! Lovely! Fiona it's just what you do best :)

Ah, thank you Sarah, you are very kind about my attempts.

Gorgeous piece, Fiona - really dynamic and full of energy!

Thank you very much Seok.

You've really captured the cold here Fiona. Great painting.

Thank you Audrey!
