Original artwork description:

When the daytime gets so short, you start to appreciate light more. Surprisingly, the surrounding grays contain dozens of shades of brown, yellow and purple. And the blue skylight in the sky tells us that even after the longest night, day will surely come, and this time is not far off.

The winter solstice, also called the hibernal solstice, occurs when either of Earth's poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun. This happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere. On this day, the sun rises to its minimum height and illuminates the earth for a very short time. The low light effect produces very interesting color combinations in the air, which are captured in the painting. The colors of the surrounding space become pearlescent, the snow takes on a cold bluish tint, and the sky becomes darker than the earth.

Artwork done with high quality oil paints on stretched canvas. Ready to hang.
