A real sense of the barren winter landscape Ian. Nice work.

Great work and the positioning and colour in the sign is spot on.

Appropriately grim and barren. The subtle hints of colour show a deft touch. The title across the snowy verge adds a touch of nostalgia, reminding one of postcards from another era.

A "real" Winter Scene. I can almost feel the slipppery feel at the Steering wheel and the Bbrake Foot. Drive carefully! Very authentic Painting Ian.

Bit of tongue-in-cheek, which I have emphasised by the use of a caption (not to everyone's taste). Good thing about these winter scenes is it forces the use of a very limited pallette, and focus more on the tones, the red of the sign returns it from the monochrome.
