winter colours

David Hockney last year had a major exhibition showing his IPad art recording the changing seasons in Yorkshire. His winter colours seemed vivid; but at least it got me to look more carefully at the colours in winter. It seesm when people are motivated to draw or paint winter scenes they often produce snow and frost scenes. To be honest, most of the UK experiences winter as a time of dul lgrey and wet, so the real task from Hockey is to learn to see what colours are there in the gloom and grey: here are 3 attempts:

a street lamp behind winter hedge and foliage, not far from a hsopital unit in which I worked

same place: different tree!

this little car is parked over the road in which i live, it's the stripes and bin which are the only noteworthy colours on a grey day!
