First Snow, finished and cropped
I decided to add a few more marks, a little white gouache to add more direction to the snow and to create a rising moon. Then I cropped it.
One of the advantages of the inktense is that no colour at all lifted to contaminate the white of the gouache.
I miss the ability to crop when I work on canvas.
Better? That's it anyway.

Beautiful!
Lovely mixture of colour, movement and white
I just wrote the previous comment - my name is Jennifer, but was not sure what to click on the list!
I liked the original, but what a difference a crop makes! Superb.
thank you all :>)
Jennifer I think you clicked the right thing :>)
and Margo I totally agree - cropping can make a very ordinary painting really work - trouble is, I rarely work to standard sizes so framing isn't cheap!
As Margo says, the original was beautiful yet the crop makes such a difference. How lovely it is...

Vivien, I have been trying to leave a comment on your blog for a week but no luck. Hopefully this one will post.
I absolutely love your birch scenes with Inktense! Very striking and effective.
Love it! What lovely detail and the colors give it so much life.
Wow I love it. It's very dramatic and I love the expressive colors and movement in the piece. Beautiful work.
