Winters Stillness
12"x24" Oil painting
Based off a plein air sketch this painting captures the ending of a snow storm as the sun begins to break out from the clouds. The cold brook still flows, half frozen, from under the fresh blanket of snow. The fir tree boughs bend under the weight of the new snow. The stillness of this moment has a peacefulness about it that invites the viewer to take some time and explore its freshness. By smelling the crisp air, admiring the perfect snow flakes that have accumulated, and just maybe getting lost in its stillness. |
