Snow In The Washburn Valley

Snow in the Washburn Valley 25x30cm

Looks like a crisp cold day to me. A great deal to like here.

A real good snow landscape and painted really well.

Excellent Winter landscape

nice and fresh -you can almost feel the snow and cold - very good!

I like your calmer approach: you'd think snow was easy to paint, but - it isn't.

Really nice winter scene.

Oil on canvas 25x30cm. The Washburn Valley is a beautiful area located near my hometown of Otley. This scene, from a few years ago was painted the day after snowfall.
