Winter's Sigh

2025, oil on gessobord, 18" x 24"

Even as the angle of the sun promises spring's imminent return, the ground still whispers tales of winter's long reign. For generations, this land has witnessed the same cyclical drama – the gradual yielding of ice and snow, the patient stillness of the trees awaiting their season, where winter's stark beauty lingers, a final, quiet presence before the anticipated resurgence of life unfolds.

"No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn." - Hal Borland.
