12x12''  original painting
The painting portrays a serene winter river scene, its surface a mix of icy stillness and gentle, flowing currents. The river winds through the landscape, its dark, reflective waters contrasting against the pure white of snow blanketing the surrounding terrain. Snow-covered trees line the banks, their branches heavy with frost, creating a delicate, lacy frame for the scene.
Nestled along the edges of the river, clusters of ochre-hued bullrushes rise from the snow, their warm tones standing out vividly against the cool blues and whites of the winter palette. The rushes add texture and a sense of life, their slender forms swaying gently in an imagined breeze.
The sky above is pale and muted, with soft gradients of grey and light blue, suggesting an overcast day. Shadows cast by the trees and rushes create subtle patterns on the snow, adding depth and dimension. The overall mood of the painting is peaceful and introspective, capturing the quiet beauty of a winter's day in nature.
