Snow capped trees stand casting their shadows on a snowy landscape as the sun sets, casting a rosy glow on all it touches. In creating this painting, I was captivated by the vivid contrasts and emotional resonance of dusk in winter. Using a playful amalgamation of Fauvism and Impressionism, I layered vibrant hues to capture the fleeting warmth of the sun against the crisp, clean air. The bold, expressive brushstrokes invite viewers into a dynamic yet serene wintery scene, sparking an invigorating energy that uplifts any space it inhabits. My aim was to encapsulate not just the scene, but the silent eloquence of nature’s transitions. This beautiful work of art is painted white around the sides and comes ready to hang. *Please note that the In Situ photos are not to scale
