Lovely card Carole, do you just print some off now ??

Amazing art work.. well done :o)))

Oh wow! pansypotter you are very clever, that is a beautiful picture. I think you should be painting commercially.

Double WOW,Carole! This is absolutely beautiful..I knew you used to paint,but I had no idea you did wonderful scenes like this..The more I look at it,the more I see..I love the way the branches hang over,especially the one which looks to have broken,with the weight of snow,on the right..well,that is how I see it,anyway..I am going to show off in future..and shall speak of you as 'my friend the Artist' !..just lovely..thanks for showing us..:o))..I am going to keep going back to it,to see what else I have missed..added it to Favourites..cos it is .Lol.

Ooh Carole this is fantastic! Love the light on the snow, wow, it really is great!!

Clever you Carole, wonderful picture for a christmas card :-)

Many Thanks to everyone for all your lovely comments, the snow just a week sfter we moved in, it was fantastic, the old gentleman who lived in the first cottage was snowed in, all the neighbours came out to dig the snow so we could give him some coal and food through the bedroom window, it was a great way to meet all our new neighbours.
Stripes I do print them off and attatch them to a card adding some decoration, will put a picture on so you can see the finished result;0)
Sanbaz this painting is watercolour and pastels, like mixed media.
Sandra thanks for putting it on your favourites and the branch was broken with the snow. I have just logged on and can't believe I can reply to all your comments [wonder if Peter as solved my problem];0)

Oh thats good,Carole...and not before time too.It must have been very frustrating...That is a heartwarming story
of meeting your new neighbours..sounds as though you had a nice little community there..no wonder you miss it...

how lovely that you look after each other as neighbours. The neighbours we have here give a helping hand to each other. It makes such a difference. This is a lovely painting and would make a super Christmas card. Snow is one of the more difficult of pictures to paint so well done you!!!

Wow Carole its beautiful, love it.

another lovely painting will make a great christmas card.

Thanks Lindak pleased you like it.
Thanks Carol and Holly going to start making the cards up tomorrow looking forward to seeing how they turnout;0)

I love it Carole, how could you bear to leave it? Your picture is lovely and evocative...made me feel snow:-))

not tried pastels jet carole, a few use them at art group, i may try one day :o)

Thanks BA, Its a long story but basically the cottage was delightful but very tiny [one bedroom] and there was no parking, so that did become a problem ,it was also quite remote and when my husband retired we felt it was time to move onto something a little more modern and within reach of facilities. We spent 11 blissful years at the cottage and I will never forget those happy times and good friends we made there.

Sandra I love using mixed media you can get great effects with it ,give it a try ;0)

Thanks Homebird, Oils are my favourite , but havent tried Acrylics yet, What subjects do you like painting ?

Wow Carole you are so clever , I think it's amazing and will be perfect for a christmas card , for one awful moment when I clicked on it I thought you had a snow storm today :o))

Go for it, your friends and family will be delighted to receive your Christmas cards.

How will you go about transformimg the paintings into Christmas cards? X

Thanks Amy no snow storm, but a nice dry day here today;0)

Thanks Dawn I first of all scanned the painting to the Computor them printed copies off, these I attatched to the cards and added a few trimings and an inner with greetings, send me your address and if you like I will send you one;0))

Your talents are never ending :-) That is very kind of you, thank you.

Go your address Dawn, will send one;0))
