Lovely, Rob..

I must say I'm glad I don't LIVE where there is snow, but I'm always a bit jealous of those who do because some like you are able to paint it so beautifully.

Have a great year!

Very nice!

It's perishing here but no snow as yet - I'm hoping we miss it. I don't like the sound of that 40cm they're forecasting is coming south!

Great work Rob. I think there will be plenty more snowy days yet by the sound of things.

Dear Rob - a belated happy new year to you! What a cracking little painting - so much value to it. When I clicked on it to enlarge I was astounded by the colour you have captured in that snow. Also the eau de nil type green in the sky has made that heavy with more snow as well - just how the sky feels when it is snowing. You are inspiring me to have a go myself!

Two days of food and plenty of paint can go a very long way ;-)
Glad I don't have to deal with those frosty winters anymore. Although I do crave painting 'snow' scenes every now and then. You paint them exceptionally well!
"Snowed in (again)" is a beauty!

I think this is one of the best things about being snowed in: painting! We had our 3rd blizzard ever in the last 2 weeks - still with snow on the ground now and bitter cold. Nice work Rob.

rob ijbema said...

best wishes for you too!

rob ijbema said...
