I love the soft foggy winter wonderland you created here using a soft blue, green, brown and white. There is a vanishing like perspective I like.
Great winter Scene with the trees and mountain kissed with Snow.

The colors you chose seem to have worked wonderfully in giving the piece the feeling of coldness. I like the blending of the sky and the dramatic appearance. The shading in the mountain and the snow looks very nice too.

This should do well in the contest as you can almost feel the chill. The clouds look like they hold a bitter coldness in them. The path leads you into the landscape. Mountains and trees are well drawn. Love all the cool blue tones in this one. Good luck in the contest.

A gorgeous winter landscape with beautiful color pallet. Good brush strokes and blending and shading with color. Good differentiation and contrast in your art work. I like how you draw us into the scene with the mountains and that gorgeous sky. A good composition and nice movement in your work. A creative and talented art work. A good entry into The Cold Art Contest and good luck. Thanks for sharing!

This piece conveys the contest title perfectly . It's a cold winter's day . Excellent depth to your piece as well as the fog in the mid ground .

Very good entry for the contest. Lovely pastel depiction of a cold day - makes you shiver just to look at it! Great use of colour. I like all the shadows and peaks in the mountains with the fog swirling round the trees. Very good composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Literally a cool creation with Fine features & textures.
Realistically rendered that the coldness is almost palpable.
Subtle colors.
Vanishing viewpoint.
Diminishing perspective.

The vertical format works well covering interesting compositional elements.
Thanks for sharing...
