Original artwork description:

This intimate oil painting captures a cherished view of my local valley, a path I walk almost daily with my dogs. The cool winter palette reflects both the season’s atmosphere and the meditative quietude of this familiar landscape. Through careful brushwork, I’ve captured the gentle undulation of the hills, their muted blues and greys stretching toward the horizon beneath a pearl-white and blue sky.

The composition leads the viewer along a winding dirt track through verdant fields, creating a sense of journey and contemplation. The path acts as both a visual anchor and a metaphor for life’s daily rhythms. Having witnessed this vista through all seasons, I chose to immortalize its winter aspect as well, when the landscape speaks in whispers of blues, greens, and earthen tones.

This work embodies the profound connection between artist and environment, celebrating the subtle beauty found in everyday surroundings. The intimate 20×20 cm format invites viewers to step closer, to share in this moment of winter tranquility.
