Winter Wonderland in the Arts

Do you like Winter landscapes as much as I do? If yes, then you're in for a treat and a feast for your eyes. Especially made for this Winter season are my latest "Winter Wonderland" modern landscapes where I aimed to celebrate the beauty of the Winter season through my latest creation of snow paintings and wintry mix ones.

In the Winter paintings such as "Winter Woods", "Crisp" and "Fast Snow", I sought to show the audience not only my love for Winter landscapes but the feeling of being surrounded within a Winter wonderland ambiance from a walk in the woods in a freshly snowed in landscape while the sun casts its rays upon the white snow, and shadows of the barren trees cast shades all over the thick white snow. Living by the woods and observing the seasonal changes within the DMV area and its affect on nature have had for a very long time inspired me in my artwork creation. This Winter, I wanted the landscapes to transport the viewer to the whimsical feel of Wintry landscape through my signature painterly abstracted expressionist style that art lovers admire. The "Winter Woods" and "Crisp" paintings are rather large by which I intended for the viewer to have the same experience as I do of a leisurely walk in a snowy woodsy wintry landscape with fresh clean crisp air and beneath us untouched snow. Through "Winter Woods" I wanted to exude the feeling of being one in nature and surrounded by the grandeur of the Winter season.

The artwork is up for January's Winter season, and adorning the display window of the gallery. The Framer's Choice Gallery is open daily, and the paintings are all available for purchase at the gallery.
