About The Watercolor Painting

This painting is an intimate study of solitude and winter light. The small 7x5 scale enhances the feeling of looking through a window into a peaceful, frozen moment. By balancing the heavy detail of the cow with the minimalist, ethereal treatment of the background, it successfully captures the quiet gravity of a winter morning.

This painting is apart of the Colors of Winter Collection.
