Artist’s Statement
My inspiration for this piece came from a view over the Cotswolds from a winter walk near Cheltenham. I loved how the low, December sun reflected off the berries and the snow. I wanted to use a lot of texture at the bottom of the canvas to contrast against the smooth horizon. I painted this around the same time as painting 'Serenity' and also aimed for this piece to calm the viewer and give them a sense of peace and warmth.
