Acrylic on board 12" x 12"
This painting shows the valley of Stalybridge during the recent snowfalls. It's a view I have painted a few times before as seen from the top of Cocker Hill where there used to be a church and graveyard. I love the view because it is different in all weathers. It's never identical from one week to the next. As you can see the light levels were low and the sky heavy with more snow to come.

You've pared this down to essentials so beautifully, Sheila. The stark contrasts and subtle tonal shifts work so well.
beautiful work Sheila, the shapes and perspective just work!
Lovely Snowy painting Sheila. Best of luck with the National Exhibition. All the best.
Vic.
Beautiful grays for this snowy landscape , Sheila ! The quiet atmosphere of snow is very well represented..
Don, thanks for the kind words. I was a bit worried about the huge contrasts at first - but that was how it looked!
Rahina, thank you for your encouragement. I'm pleased you like it.
Vic, thanks. I appreciate your kind comments.
Thank you Regis, your recent winter scenes of Paris are superb!
Hi Sheila,
I wish you could hear me as I notice these go "mmmm!" This has a truly lovely quality. Beautiful.
Take care,
Barbara
I have just found your blog...this painting is exceptionally beautiful...I love this colour palette and the angle you've painted this scene from.
Allison.
Thanks Allison - it might not be the palette I will always stick with but I do feel comfortable with it. The angle comes naturally with a local viewpoint onto the valley where our small town sits.
such a beautiful painting. I can feel the heavy, damp air. The values are fabulous.
Thanks Mary!
