TM9261 Snowy Woods 36×40 oil on panel

Into the woods on a brilliantly sunny day, with long blue shadows and snowy arches overhead – this is January, and this is the entrance to winter’s cathedral. The silence can seem holy, because it is. Winter’s dormancy covers the life hidden beneath snow – a time of rest before the tumult of spring. Details below. Enjoy.
