All’s quiet.. you could hear a pin drop

Beautiful.

Many thanks Margaret : )

Stunning

Love this.

I can identify with your description of the stillness after a snow fall Tony, as if everything is holding its breath. Thirty years or so ago I purchased an old cottage, didn’t really like it that much to be honest but I was running out of options. I decided to view it anyway, after a heavy fall of snow, no one was living there and it was down a lane by itself. I stood by the door, the silence was deafening and embracing, if that makes sense....the only sound was from a startled blackbird from a nearby shrub his alarm call a musical surprise. I put an offer on it even before I looked inside just on that experience. Life is standing still in your painting, waiting for the release of that held breath......beautiful.

Thanks very much Heather x

Thanks a million Sylvia, it was nice to read that : )

Hi Fiona, yes it does make sense, just to hear all the little sounds of life happening when all is still is invaluable and its only until those moments you realise how what you are missing. What a lovely way to decide where to live, i absolutely loved reading your reply, you have a lovely way with words and thank you very much for spending the time to get your message accross which was beautiful to read x

Just noticed this one Tony, I've painted the scene myself of "Castle Coombe" but yours has been done so delicately. Smasher.

Hi Bill, its a lovely place, thank you for your lovely comments 😊
