Alsaise Winter Snow (Before & After)

[L Skylar Brown]

This was originally done as a window view, looking thru the village, and up the mountain - in Spring. As I reviewed a call for entries in a Christmas Card contest, it occurred to me that with a bit of retouching, this would be a great winter scene. Orig size is appx 12x15. Impressionism. I just added snow and some frost effects to a new layer.

Skylar...amazing how you transformed it seasonally...an interesting work and it has the great charm of an old city...

A fine winter image and would make an incredible Christmas card....

Super paintings Skylar! I would like to see the edges of the frost softened in most places, just the edge and not all edges leave a few hard. I also think you should let the church show through a bit more (but all the way) since its a background point of interest. A very cool painting!

Winter is cold but this painting really warms me, well done Skylar

I like the second one the most because of the warm and cozy feeling it gives me.
Well done.

A couple of winners! Is Alsaise Alsace? The buildings look much good, old Europe to me ...
