Winter Light 3

A3 original alcohol ink artwork on Yupo paper (with mount)
 
This A3 alcohol ink painting, titled "Winter Light," offers a beautifully pared-back vision of nature stripped to its essence—a tranquil moment in a pale, wintry landscape where stillness and subtle warmth intertwine.
Two central tree-like forms rise from the base, their elongated trunks and delicate branches rendered in earthy tones of burnt sienna, rosewood, and amber. The ink has been allowed to bleed and drip in organic, unpredictable paths, creating elegant stems and sinuous lines that evoke both strength and fragility.
The background is a gentle wash of misty greys, blush pinks, and soft taupes, layered in horizontal strokes like distant clouds or low-lying fog across a frosty plain. Despite the cool palette, there is a quiet warmth that glows from within the piece—as though the last light of a winter sunset is brushing the landscape.
"Winter Light" captures the season not through coldness, but through restraint, quietude, and the subtle beauty of things laid bare. It’s a painting that whispers rather than shouts—a moment of reflection, calm, and the promise of stillness.
