    That kind of constantly grey and drizzly weather and incessant dampness can really make a person feel miserable. it's like it seeps into your bones. It's like that on the west coast of Tasmania. I don't know how they survive the winter. Here in the highlands we are in a rain shadow, so the winter is filled with crisp cold rozen days with blue skies. When it rains it rains properly, but then we get a respite. Down in the valley it is foggy all winter. Add into that wood smoke from people's homes and it gets pretty awful pretty quickly. So, I feel for you. On a positive note, these foggy scenes are just gorgeous. It's amazing to me how a few abstract wet in wet marks suddenly become distance trees through the fog to create a magical winter landscape.

      I'm close to the coast, so we are often hit by the arctic winds from the north, which blows freezing air into our valley and sort of clears things quickly. However that means the wind makes it so much colder 😅 But I do wonder in the lowlands if they have bad pollution in winter. But yea there are many days of grey, and I will fly my drone up to see the sun...it's like a little reminder that the light is there and eventually it will come back to us!

    This reminds me so much of the San Joaquin Valley in California in winter. I used to think there wasn't anything interesting about all the fog and gloominess until I found a photographer, Michael Frye, who photographed scenes of fog there. After that, I appreciated so much more the beauty of a foggy morning. Your paintings are so inspiring and beautiful. Frosted sheep--ha ha, so cute!

I really want to get to a point where I can paint loosely like that and actually get something that looks good. I toil over every brush stroke, it seems.. I should probably just dial up a bunch of your videos and have them playing while I paint because they are so relaxing to watch and listen to.

    Same here in Russia - we have winter for 5 months and we only have sun when the temperature is within the range of -30 and -20 degrees:( If it's something above, it means there will be weeks of gloomy grey skies... pretty hard to find motivation for something, so I can relate so much to that.
    It also resonated when you said that you painted without paying attention to brands or types of paints you were using. I personally noticed that I've finally started growing only when I stopped caring about what brands I was using and basically just grabbed whatever I had near my hand at that moment.
    Beautiful paintings as always!

    The paintings are so beautiful Sarah. I use gouache and I use watercolour but I very often find I just have to add in some gouache to my watercolour pieces. The more robust gouache seems to amplify the subtleties of the water colour and make them glow more. Where they were humming now they are singing. I just bought some Kuretake Gansai Tambi and have been playing with it for a couple of days. Already I’m itching to use watercolour with it to see how they play together. No doubt gouache will be coming to the party too. Happy painting

      Some say it is between gouache and watercolour but so far it is like opaque watercolour to me.

Still getting the feel of it. @@SarahBurnsStudio
