Wintering II, an oil on canvas, painted in the Winter 2021 as 1 of 2 in a series. This horizontal, light and airy painting features notes of vibrant and transparent color. Wintering refers to a time of reflection and restoration. Inspired by the open and airy paintings of Venice by the British artist, JMW Turner, the Wintering paintings contain an inner glow reminiscent of light on sea and sky. Wintering suggests a poetic period of introspection, regeneration and rebirth. The more subdued palette of these horizontal paintings also feels open, hopeful, energetic and free. There is landscape suggested here or at least a winter sky.
