Original artwork description:

On one snowy morning, on our return from Ludlow, we were struck by the beauty of this scene as we drove by. My wife Cath took the original photograph and I captured, in pastel, the contrast between the crisp snow, the silhouetted trees and the isolated building.
"Snow in the Valley" is completed using soft pastels and pastel pencils on Artspectrum colourfix paper. The sharpened pencils create the detail and the background is blended using polystyrene sticks to give the three dimensional effect to the completed painting.
