After the Storm, looking southwards from our village – Acrylic in a Watercolour Moleskine
This was after around 12″ of snow, last week, which blanketed everything. I’ll try to paint the scene looking to the north which is similar yet different and post it later. Any amount of snow, at this time of year, is not normal here – our main falls are in January and February. We also have had low temperatures of -11C, much colder up north. It is, of course, nothing like parts of Europe and North America. Thank God for central heating. I wonder what the rest of the winter will bring?

Nice one Bob. Reduce colours just a bit more and we’d get Malevich…

Thanks Rene. I’ve just sent in the view from to the north so everyone can compare the two. I’ve loads of photos from the past two week’s snows so you all are going to get fed up with them
Nuria – Don’t encourage me too much. As a frugal Scot, who avoids wasting money, I love to paint snow scenes as most of the paper is white so it saves money
Ziza – No need to reduce colours as Malevitch’s descendants work locally in my DIY shop. Whenever I try to get ordinary white paint I am totally puzzled by the many shades and tints of white ie Apple White, Rose White, brilliant White – the list goes on. See what this guy started. I only use White White
