Thank you all for such a lovely response everyone. On chilly occasions like this an Impressionistic approach is definitely a bonus!

Amazing! I believe your mind has been truly reflected in the painting and sensible people should be able to read its message clearly.

I painted this just before Christmas when the ground was frozen hard but the sunlight was crystal clear.
