This was without doubt the hardest painting for me to part with as they are both my children and the photo was taken recently in the heavy snowfall. It sold within two days though so I know it's gone to a happy home!
I used really thick paint as an undercoat which enabled me to create interesting textures for the snowy areas when dragging the fresh paint on top of it. The blue shadows really adds to the wintery feel and the red contrasts perfectly with it. I used Windsor Blue for the shadows as it's got a turquoise hint to it which sings nicely and prevents it from getting too flat.
