Artist's Statement
In this painting my main focuses were tone and texture. I sometimes find Winter in the UK can look quite flat or washed out but in other countries such as Alaska, the other colours associated with cold weather like white and grey can create wonderful imagery and contrast. I aimed for the muted palette and soft tones to have a calming effect on the viewer whilst being uplifted by the shine of the silver leaf.
