good evening all
4.6 today
@lindisfel - yup, snow showers here today too

it didn't 'stick' but I'm looking forward to a bit of wamth, at least the wind has dropped to a moderate level although the far side of the firth is full of white caps
We went over to mum's to collect her list ready for tomorrow's weekly trolley dash earlier and the sky was beautiful and light as we drove, clouds blustering along, sun, snow showers in the distance, spectacular
@Krystyna23040 - glad things are progressing well

I put on about 3Kg over this last lockdown too
@dunelm - interesting composition, it works well, really gives a sense of scale

I had a look at some of Fu Baoshi's work and I see why you like it. He has a looser style but a skillful way of emphasising the focus of his paintings.
@gennepher - a fine painting today, lovely texture and glowing colour with subtle variation

Mum usually has a wren in her garden too, it nests inside a gap in the stone wall (almost under the terracotta pot I drew).
@Muddy Cyclist - I like your Cader Idris as it is, it looks as though the sun is just peeping through enough to add a hint of wamth in the middle ground to contrast with the more sombre hills and foreground

I think it would have looked nicely atmospheric with the mist too though
A shapely start to the next painting, I do find the first washes of your paintings interesting.
