Hi Rob, gosh you make everything look so cold and bleak in Wales! Love the Dark Days, all wet and thundery and your snowstorm is quite frightening! I remember Wales as being sunny with lots of mountains and signposts I couldn't understand.
you were lucky liz,a lot of the time the weather is crap but hey! the wetness makes it so lush and green,we've got color all year round...and i would miss the seasons
You are lucky having such extremes of weather to paint - that sky is fantastic! Not so easy having to sit outside in all weathers though! My mum and dad used to live in Wales and the one thing I remember about it is it was always raining!
well simon if you do many,many excellent paintings,hehe,just kidding i think it was x-mass and the flu that took over and i'm getting older. good to hear you like it!

WOW! Dark Days is wonderful - packs an emotional punch..I could feel the storm coming...
That's a dramatic painting Rob. Even though it's a grey day, it's full of colour compared with the foggy December paintings.

yes annie it can be grey but never a dull...
i was stading just by the boot of the car,for cover ,i knew i would get a few showers
Both are wonderful, Rob. But Dark Days really speaks to me. Got some tension going on there.
thanks bill
yes dark days was a weird one
didn't go anywhere,didn't fight it,then it suddenly clicked...
The two moods cannot be more different. It is great how you capture these specific sensations. I like the first one especially.
