20x20''original painting 
The first painting captures a quiet winter landscape where cold and warmth exist side by side. Bare trees stand along a narrow creek, their dark, branching forms cutting through a pale blue sky and snow-covered banks. The snow is not flat or silent—it’s alive with soft blues, whites, and warm touches of gold and orange that suggest low winter light.
At the center, the creek winds forward, its water a deep, luminous blue that contrasts strongly with the surrounding snow. Beneath the surface, roots and reflections create branching, vein-like patterns, giving the water a sense of movement and life even in the stillness of winter. The exposed tree trunk and roots anchor the composition, emphasizing resilience and continuity beneath the frozen landscape.
The overall mood is calm and contemplative, yet quietly hopeful. The painting speaks to endurance and transition—a moment where winter holds the land, but life continues to flow underneath, waiting for change.
