Snow showers in the Preseli's


I thought I would do an appropriate seasonal painting yesterday. It is a view of the Preseli's with snow showers. In the foreground are a field of sheep. I had thought about putting a shepherd and dog in it but decided it didn't need it.

I have painted this view using an easel at the begining of winter. It was a good walk carrying the easel and paints. When I got there I was ..cold.. Nevertheless I did the painting despite having to hold the easel with one hand to stop it blowing over and keep wiping a cold red nose. Still it is character forming as they say. Yesterday I did it in the relative warmth of my studio (no the heating is not on yet.).
