I've managed to squeeze in a bit of outdoor work...in between the showers! I seem to be drawn to late afternoon light and when it pierces through some winter trees it can create some magical effects. It changes so darn fast though it's quite an effort to get it down in time. Still, we can but try :o)

(a quick sketch helped make some sense of the mass of trees)


(This one's still wet and I had literally minutes to get it down. The sheep turned up for a late cameo apperance. I'd started painting another scene facing in the opposite direction when this view popped up over my shoulder. It had better light although I had to squint a bit because of the glare)
