A Winter Walk III

This original oil and cold wax painting portrays a couple walking down a snow-covered, tree-lined path near Earnock Burn in Hamilton, Scotland. Painted in a rich, expressive style, it captures the quiet stillness of a winter day as soft light filters through the trees.

The composition leads the viewer’s eye gently toward the figures in the distance, illuminated by a warm golden glow at the end of the path. The foreground is shaded in cool blues and greys, where dappled light plays across the snow, while the surrounding trees form a natural arch, drawing the gaze inward toward the light.

A harmonious palette of cool winter tones is beautifully balanced with warm yellows and ochres, suggesting the subtle transition from shadow into sunlight. The layered texture of oil and cold wax adds depth and movement, evoking the crunch of snow underfoot and the softness of filtered light through bare branches.

A unique, one-of-a-kind artwork, this piece captures the peaceful atmosphere of a quiet winter walk and the warmth of shared companionship amid nature’s calm.

This ready to hang original measures approximately 12" x 8", it is created on Arches Oil Paper and is presented in a 16" x 12" white wooden glazed frame with cream mount, fitted with D-rings and cord.
