In the February after we moved to Essex we had 15 cm of snow, more than I had seen since I was a child. Familiar walks were transformed, and I particularly liked this view through a hedge, and the way that the brambles framed the oak tree on the far side of the field.
Rachel said ‘I could imagine this as an illustration for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.’

This oak tree is a particular favourite of mine – I love the way the branches twist, and the twigs are like lace against the sky.
Ruth said, ‘Is this a painting or a photo? Cos it’s brilliant! Love it!!’

We had a beautiful snowy winter, and I love the lacy outline of trees against the sky, so this made a wonderful combination. I used watercolour to put in the sky and snow, and then added the trees using ink.
