This scandinavian folk art snowflake keeps things simple and sweet. Elin Norrby painted six brick red arms in flat, opaque gouache, each one branching into little side strokes and finishing in a small heart. A row of tiny white dots runs down every arm, and right at the centre sits a mustard ochre circle ringed by six deep green leaves.
It's a snowflake painting with the feel of a hand-stitched mitten or a painted wooden ornament. The brushwork stays visible in the red, the symmetry is careful but not stiff, and the warm cream ground gives it plenty of room to breathe.
If you love Nordic traditions, cozy holiday mornings, or winter art prints that skip the usual blue and silver, this one is for you. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone with Swedish or Norwegian roots.
As snowflake wall art, it looks right at home in an entryway, a breakfast nook, or above a sideboard set for the season. This canvas wall art works well with natural wood, white walls, and red plaid throws, and it can stay up from December through the last snow.
