Geese in the Snow by Ann Mortimer
Watercolour 35×25cm Artists colours on Saunders Waterford 140not.
This image has been used by Medici cards for a charity Christmas card this year (2010) and so I can’t offer it for sale as a card. This is at a village near where I live where the geese collect at the village pond. My friend/student, Meg, took a photo of them and let me paint from it. I liked the way the geese stood out against the dark green of the water.

The deep green water and soft background are just lovely.
Thanks 2Bricks, there were village houses in the background but I simplified it. The geese were the stars of the show!
