First snow 2009. Pen-y-Ghent

Comments

This is great Ian, the colours and tones are spot on. Like you I would hesitate to add anything further in case of messing up. It would be worth sketching something onto tracing paper and placing over the painting to see if it would work or not.

Thanks for your comments Robert, still haven't done anything with it yet though - it's going to be one of those "is it or isn't it finished pictures... One of those the wife hates because it can't be framed, and its just lingering around waiting for something to do...!" Cheers. Ian.

I have finally got the hill right - after many attempts in various conditions and lights, and for once I am happy with it. I don't know if the scene could do with a bit of life - maybe I will add it at a later stage.
