Chipping Sodbury, England, 15" x 11".
A very faint rendering of the background, you can almost see the main church tower, and then very loose painting of the foreground trees. The main part of the trees were painted with a small mop brush, and a 'sword' brush was used for the branches. When the paint was still damp I used a small penknife to make some scrape marks indicating lighter branches. Timing here is important doing that and also not to overdo it to avoid damaging the paper surface.

Tim- The trees are great. I have always had trouble doing winter trees without getting into photo like paintings. This is great so now the trees fit the rest of the impressionistic look./

Thank you Ron. It looks a mess at first, but in the context of the whole painting it sort of works.
