In this painting I have tried to take a cold subject matter and warm it by using a golden hue for the sky. There is something very pristine and calming about a winter evening immediately after a snow. When I paint I often transport myself to a place that evokes a feeling within me and try to capture that feeling in the work for everyone to enjoy with me. I have used the stream again as a device to lead your eye through my composition. I have three horizontal line movements that also serve to lift the viewer's eye upward. Enough..... the idea is to have a piece that is calming to you. I hope my painting brings a restful moment to your day.
