Deep and crisp and even. by Stephen Slater

Lovely work Stephen super foreground shadows

Glad you did - it's a little gem.

I did put one on earlier, but this is a beauty Stephen, and that foreground shadow is just perfect.

Many thanks everyone for your kind words, I thought perhaps the foreground shadow was a little strong, it doesn't look quite as strong in reality.

Oh this is lovely Stephen, lush shadows!

Lovely trees and great composition Stephen .like it.

Many thanks Fiona ans Syd, much appreciated.

Nice composition, I can identify with the figure, a walk thru the snow on a sunny afternoon....I love how you paint all of your trees, from the fuzzy wet in wet ones to the rigger'd leafless ones...and the expressive feel of a strong shadow in the front....what a wonderful Tall tree that must be, has our imagination going....thanks for sharing Stephen....

Many thanks Nancy for your thoughtful comments.

Love the warm and cool light in this Stephen

Many thanks Carole.
