Thank you, Sandra. I love playing with salt for texture. This was a fun little piece.

Wonderful water colour Marsha did you use salt ? what a great complimentary use of colour! Joy oh Joy to leave the paper as white so very effective and in keeping with translucent WC L
Marsha Elliott replied:
Again, thank you so much for your nice comments on this painting and so many others . Yes, I used salt in the background to give it a frosty look. When using salt, the timing has to be just right.

Much thanks, Ken. The winter berries we have around here really do pop against a snowy backdrop....really beautiful.

Thanks for the encouragement, Donna....been trying really hard to see color within color...a real struggle for me. I'm happy with how this one turned out. :)

Chickadees do have the ability to bring a sense of sunshine into the dreariest winter day! This is a wonderful painting, Marsha... love the way you have 'frosted' the background. f/v
Marsha Elliott replied:
How nice of you to stop by, Peggy, with this great comment. When using salt for texture, it has a mind of its own
