Barbara, these shadows over the tire tracks and the bark... it's so beautifully done. You are obviously quite the professional.
Barbara Jewell replied:
Thank you for your generous comments, Alexi. The tracks are actually made exclusively by cross-country skiers, which makes the "silence" possible!

It seems to me that in several minutes I`ll start skiing, I feel smack of snow and frost. Stunningly!!! It looks so real! Color is very pure and transparent. Shadows are so slight! I`m very glad I have seen your works and discovered such talented painter like you. F/V
