In the Corrie of the Snow
In the Corrie of the Snow, Watercolour, 25 x 36 cm
When I first visited Coire an t-Sneachda, in the Cairngorms, it was October and already there was a covering of snow. The cloud level was low and the surrounding cliffs disappeared upwards into the mist, making them seem even more dramatic. The floor of the corrie was covered with scattered boulders that had fallen from the crags above. The scene was desolate, but there was also a peacefulness in the complete silence. I hope I have managed to convey some of that feeling in the painting.
Comments
I really enjoyed your use of warm colour... again no clear definition of the kind of light or its source to sweep the eye rapidly upward to the upper right away from this colder area.
This is a real departure from the usual Tilley panoramic formats. A very nice change... and very dramatic and different effect!
Good Painting!
Warmest regards,

This looks exactly how a watercolour should look, Clean and pure colour.
I like it. All the best keith.
