It works excellently Michael and a super example of the need to not get too complicated and leave room for words

That sense of desolation and chill!

When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even..Your fault that I'm humming this..LOL

Thanks to you all. Louise - sorry but you can't beat the best of God's hits - should have added a figure - Yonder peasant who is he?

Simple, yet so very effective. It's far from cliche, Michael. It would make a super Christmas card.

Set the students two cards to paint in an afternoon having given them some thumb nail sketches (all this was at their request). Stressed the need to keep them simple and to allow room for any messages to be added. Did a couple of demos - this one about 15 mins. Never easy when you are standing off-centre with the board in upright position - too many of them to sit down and ask them to look over my shoulder. Turned out OKish even though its a bit of a 'cliche' scene and may even use it. Hope you like it.http://www.michaeledwardsartist.co.uk/index.html
