Winter Sun and Blue Shadows, 2024

Winter Sun and Blue Shadows

Bright winter sunlight transforms the snow-covered ground into a lively pattern of blue shadows and warm reflected colours. Long shadows from the trees stretch across the foreground, creating a striking rhythm of lines and expressive brushstrokes.

The snow is painted in shades of blue, lavender, pale pink, cream and gold. Bare trees catch the sunlight in warm ochre and rose tones, while a tall evergreen rises against the clear blue sky.

I was particularly interested in how sunlight changes the colour and texture of snow. The deep blue shadows make the illuminated areas appear even brighter, while broad, visible brushstrokes give the surface a remarkable sense of movement.

Although this is a winter scene, the painting is filled with warmth and light. The contrast between cool shadows and sunlit snow creates a fresh, uplifting atmosphere.

This original impressionist landscape offers collectors an expressive study of winter light, combining rich colour, textured painting and the beauty of a clear, sunny day.
