This was taken from a distance, obviously. Your eyes get tired quickly from staring at snow a long time, even if you carefully chose a predominantly shady vista. There was so much reflected light bouncing around towards the end of my time there I really couldn’t see the painting clearly. I think I’ll revisit it tomorrow, when I can see better, and when I have restored my fine motor skills, which the cold had overwhelmed. NB – Revisited it today. All I did was tidy up some lines I couldn’t control in the field and incorporate the afternoon light which was a little more lively than the even morning light
