Thanks Dee, not sure if i'll make it out much over the next month

or so as I'm doing some assignments for a CPD course. Will see

how I get on, hopefully after March will be out more. Keep up

the good painterly fight

Just fantastic patrick, a little cracker well observed and captured.

Thanks Sally and Deirdre. Well i think it was easy to communicate to the

cold as I was absolutely frozen silly by the time it was finished.

You have managed to comunicate the cold with these tough little fellows. Well done.....

Patrick, Dee and I came across an abandoned easel in the wood with a snowdrop painting on it .  The ground for about four feet back  was trampled. What terrible thing happened that made its creator leave it alone to the mercy of the elements? seriously, It took my breath away.  Its beautiful.

Thank you Julia, Alison and Sean for your kind comments. It was great to see so many painters out

producing excellent work on a pretty harsh January day.

There is a real 3D feel to your painting, Patrick, and I love how you rendered the ground and branches at the back. I feel really inspired by this. 
Perhaps it would be a good idea to go there again in March for some bluebell painting, as Emily mentioned they have a lot of bluebells in the garden?...

As discussed yesterday you were right to reduce your subject matter. Love the looseness of this.

When I heard it mentioned, that someone had painted snowdrops, I wondered how it would be done, but now I know.     The impressionist suggestion of other flowers,  for me, works nicely in contrast to the more defined snowdrops.
