Thanks, Silvana! I like painting houses/farms more than anything - maybe it's a desire for a warm, cosy roof over my head!

Michael - thanks - that's a good piece of info. I didn't know that - useful!

Anne - I couldn't agree more - I've restarted it bigger - hope I can improve it!

Nice feeling of chill in this painting. If you do it again you might want to leave out the whitish marks in the foreground they are in a line and detract.

Very nice Jon!!  Your atmosphere in this piece is outstanding!!!   Keep this in mind Jon ...a scene usually requires a "horizontal Stabilizer" ......a level line, somewhere, to keep us oriented in an even keel.

I love it Jon! I specially like the smoke coming out from the chimney! It makes that house seem very cozy.

Thanks Laura. I might do it again bigger - I thought the composition was promising - need to work on the color and paint handling, I guess (and not put those blobs in if I do it again!)

The frost on the grass, the smoke from chimney make a lovely winter scene. Beautiful Jon!
