This 16×20 oil painting, inspired by an early online tutorial, features a hushed winter scene in black and white. A small, solitary cabin sits in the distance under a sky that incorporates some purple tones and helps hint at a chill in the air. The side are painted black, offering a finished look from any angle.

Still Winter  coneys separation from the noise of the world – not necessarily sorrowful or defiant, but contemplative. It speaks to those stretches in life when we pause, by choice or necessity, to gather strength or seek temporary isolation to think clearly or connect with our spiritual side.  Whether it’s a need for solitude or self-preservation, this piece invites a sense of stillness with emotional undertones that are open to interpretation.
