Looking towards Ratho Village from Ratho Mains Farm – Watercolour in a Watercolour Moleskine
Another scene from Sunday’s walk in the snow. This shows a regular walk from our house which is behind the left hand buildings on the horizon, past the farm then round to the other end of Ratho village. Some of the farm’s history can be accessed from this link to give you an idea of its recent produce.

Stephanie – the good thing about snow scenes is you don’t have to paint so much as the white paper does most of the job. To a Scotsman, this saving on paint,is heaven.
