Capturing light is your forte Marjorie, fabulous painting.

Thanks so much - the snow and the sunshine are so uplifting, you just want to try and capture the mood.

Lovely light reflections expressed upon the snow, a superb painting Marjorie!

Lovely work Marjorie.

Gorgeous light Marjorie. It really captures the Winter were having up here.

Beautiful light. Marjorie. Love it.

This is gorgeous. I love the softened tree limbs. Good composition. Lovely lights. A wonderful oil painting.

Lovely comments from all of you, I really appreciate them, thank you.

Lovely attention to light and shade here Marjorie, terrific

Marjorie, it's an absolute stunner, subject, capturing of light and shadows and brushwork all first class

Well reworked Marjorie… I do remember it from a while ago. You’ve certainly captured the ambiance of this winter landscape. Just one little thing I’m not quite sure about, I would have removed that RH tree/sapling, which would open up the pathway into the painting that bit more! But you know best…

Wonderful painting Marjorie

A very lovely painting Marjorie -like the way the branches of the tree catch the light against the darker background.

Beautiful work, love it !

Excellent painting and super looking walk, I'm very envious.

Thank you everyone. Alan, I can see what you mean but I like the idea of the sun just catching the top of the thin branches.

Fantastic light, Marjorie

I must have been sans computer still at this point, or would certainly have commented; it's brilliant; I see Alan's point about the tree on the right, but as one who can't see a space without popping something into it, I'd probably have done the same (which may not be a recommendation...). That patch of lemony light in the foreground, mirrored throughout the painting in more muted tones, is what makes this work so well.

Oil on board. The walk down to the sea. This is a previous painting which I’ve re-worked.
