Sunrise. Pine trees in snow – Watercolour on Aquarell “rough” paper
Our first snow of the winter fell last night. Only a few inches but I was out with the camera first thing today. (at -4C it was a bit cold to sketch). The sun was very low and casting wonderful tones on the clouds. We get the same effect at sunset here as the sun does not rise much above the horizon at this time of year. This was “inspired”, if that’s the right term, by a group of trees standing resolutely in the fields of a nearby farm. Not much snow on them but we have blizzards forecast for the weekend and into next week so perhaps more snowy “Brrrr” scenes to follow. Watch this space.

Uncle Bob, Love your work! I am sitting here in Gilbert Arizona (USA) and I got a chill from this. Guess I don’t take well to the cold very much, but thanks for the shivers all the same!

Beautiful scene. We don’t have snow yet. I like happy palette.

Ah greyseal. Thank you for this. Its made my day. I hope your “chill” wasn’t too severe. We had more snow this morning and its going to get even “better” over the next few days. I am trying to make a painting from this one at the moment:

It looks as if we could send you guys snow this year, Nikira, instead of the usual “other way round”. Good of you, as ever, to comment. Have a look at my flickr site to get some idea of the 8″ – 14″ which has fallen.
