I was on duty in the gallery on New Year's Eve, did the monthly accounts in the morning - how I ended up with that job, I don't know! and painted this one in the afternoon. The day before I had taken a walk up to the Morada which is my favourite walk. It was a beautiful sunny day bit the ice on the road and then the deep snow around the Morada made it heavy going. I loved these big icicles hanging down from the gutters.
While painting this piece I was more aware than usual how Ray's classes have really helped, mostly about asking myself the right questions and pushing the painting a little farther than I used to.
