Three tall spruces stand shoulder to shoulder on a snowy rise, their branches weighed down with fresh snow. Monica Tillman built every bough from thick palette-knife slabs of teal, slate and cream, so the snow seems to sit right on the needles. This winter evergreen painting lets you almost feel the cold coming off the slope.
Behind the trees, a soft gray sky breaks into bands of cream and peach where the sun is going down over a far ridge of dark pines and rust-colored brush. The hillside below is laid in broad, flat strokes of pale blue and ivory, with a few dry grasses poking through. It's a snowy landscape painting that feels quiet and still rather than bleak.
It suits anyone who loves the hush of a winter evening, the walk home after the first real snowfall, or the textured look of impasto. If you collect snow covered trees painting styles or want winter scene wall art that stays calm all season, this one fits right in.
As canvas wall art, it works well over a sofa, in an entryway or above a fireplace, and pairs easily with wood, wool and neutral linens. Hang it in December and you may find it stays up long after as your favorite winter wall decor.
