painted a nice story by adding the sheep. like the colours used in this painting it very harmonious. Just a suggestion maybe a touch of lights in the bottom stump of the tree and a little more warmth in the foreground

The sheep are a very nice addition, giving much more interest to the scene, I wish I had thought of it. The tree still holds as the main focus area and the sheep a secondary interest and you have them nicely balanced and three only, a good design element. I'm not sure the shadows are correct on the sheep, the value should be the same as the shadows cast by the trees and possibly the same cool hue. I would suggest a better use of atmospheric perspective by adding warmer more saturated colors in the foreground on the grasses and sheep by adding in a touch of yellow on the snow and ochers in the grasses, if this doesn't work for you those nice little touches of pink would work also being added more as highlights and to warm up the snow a bit as the white is quite cool. What color is the light source? I hesitate here to give you my two cents worth as I can see that you are a very experienced painter. Yours sincerely.
