Lovely concept, and use of 3 colors is good, an excellent way to stretch your abilities.
It may sound like Ingrid is tearing your work apart, but she has some valid points. Everything in the sky should be lighter than the slanting plane (the background trees) and the vertical plane (the foreground). So you could take her suggestions and improve the depth of your painting. I live in snow country and I’m working on a painting of the winter sun coming through tall trees right now. Horizontal plane( the ground) would be the next lightest after the overhead plane (the sky), but snow is an exception to this , and you’ve done it nicely. I hope my current painting comes out half as good.

Hi Gordon,
Love your colours and footprints.
I do feel you need more variation in the trees, but over all a very lovely painting.
Thank you for showing and keep painting.

Like the colors of the sky looks quite pristine and the shadows in the snow.
