Agreed, lovely tree details in this oil painting Pat, really good use of colour on the snow and good shadow work as well

This works very well, the palette is perfect!

Very atmospheric and nicely painted shadows too :)

Thank you Sarah, Lesley, Ros and Glennis for your encouraging comments

Really nice, Pat. I think you have captured the shadows wonderfully.

Just perfect !

This is a large oil painting, a bit of palette work, mostly brush and a fairly limited palette - cerulean, ultra blue, ultra violet, alizaron I got the idea from a painting in an American magazine that was smaller and more abstract in style. The scene reminded me of Skipwith Common near York which seems to have been constantly covered in snow for the last 3 months. Hence this was painted inside. I'm determined to get back painting outside soon but it has been so cold this winter, my fingers are blue in 10 minutes. A day supposedly painting at Bridlington was a non starter last week - dull, dark and freezing cold. I admire those painters who venture out in all weathers.
