Rimey Willows

 Oil on Board, 6.75 x 9.25 inches

Well, I've got the brushes out again briefly to do a few small paintings promised for John Noott Gallery and Iona House Gallery, slotted in between countless hours of framing for my Beer Exhibition.

This little one is a two-tone jobby, with the rimey Willow on the right actually in the shade of a bridge over the river, so it appears darker than the sky behind, and the left-hand one sunlit against the slightly darker toned sky - subtle counterchanges that help lift a painting.
