“There is nothing here
except the constant, looping clicks and caws
of birds, lost in trees erased by white.
My sight condensed
by each fresh, foggy breath,
a hanging depth
my head sinks through.
Nothing here
but mulching steps,
the soft snap of twigs long soaking,
the sticky sound
of car tire on wet road.
I am drenched
by a sudden gang-up of water,
a brief yawn of thunder far away.
There is nothing here
and I am all wet
."John Goss.

A country road at nightfall in winter, snow piling softly in the fields and between the grasses….Watercolour on Arches Not Paper…view large for better impact…

    That season is finally here… you’ve captured the quite stillness of the scene well, even with the soft blending and falling snow. Very beautiful Janis.

  • Thank you so much MuiLing…that’s the great thing about winter…it’s so quiet…even living in the centre of the city like I do it becomes hushed once the snow starts to fall..

    You know I’d probably like this one as I always like it when you stir your toes around in the realism pool. Very beautiful work Janis.

  • Thanks so much Jim…lovely of you to express it like that…my winter landscapes are generally in that pool…
