Oil on Board, 6x8 inches
I did this little painting from a photo I took last winter in the freezing temperatures we had in December, when the River Welland partly froze over - a pretty rare occurrence. I embellished the sky a bit as it was a rather dull day, so I cheered it up with sunlight breaking through. The gnarled old willows were a challenge, being covered in hoar frost; just that bit darker, being set against the sky, than the frosted vegetation of the banks. The sheep moving away in the distant field provided a nice little lead-in through the gap in the willows.
ooh had a cold nose and frost bite just looking at this one. They are such a pleasure to see. Hope all is going well with your DIY. Ve
ReplyDeleteThank you Ve. I got proper frostbite with the one above, as you'll read....
DeleteMy renovations (to the house ) are progressing well thank you!
