Snowrenity
Acrylic on Canvas 60 x 24 2010 sold
This scene is definitely rural. And seemingly more so with a heavy layer of snowy-ness.
It’s a snowy afternoon, and just a while earlier, the snow stopped for a bit,
and it’s very cold, very still, and very quiet.
Almost a somber hush –
But despite that, there’s activity motivated by the wind, seen in a brave lonely tree, and the field grasses.
They may be muted,but they will not be silenced! And a sense of peacefulness abounds.
This was a most challenging painting because my colors were so greyed-down.
My usual tendency is toward much brighter colors! But here, the muted tones
enhance the calming effect of the painting.
