What a busy time of year this is! Does much painting get done I wonder?
I had the best intentions to make some hand painted Christmas cards but it didn't quite happen. However, inspired by the snow laden trees and Ingeborg Smith's lovely quirky paintings, I produced several little works like this one above.
This wintry weather can cause total chaos but the landscape can be starkly beautiful, especially in our low northern light. I haven't quite managed to make the most of it by painting outside. Memory and imagination in a warmish studio do me just fine.
A couple more days till the winter solstice, then roll on more hours of daylight.
Sometimes I think I am blethering into the ether , but if anyone is out there, have a good mid-winter and all the best for 2011.
