"Snowy River"
"Snowy River" is a striking pastel landscape that captures the raw, quiet power of a mountain river in the heart of winter. Snow blankets the banks in thick, undulating drifts, their curves echoing the rugged contours of the distant mountains that loom under a heavy sky.
A cluster of bare trees stands sentinel along the water’s edge. A few hardy bushes cling to life beneath their boughs, their forms softened by caps of snow, offering the only suggestion of resilience in the frozen stillness.
The artist’s use of pastel brings a tactile quality to the scene—the crunch of snow underfoot, the glassy sheen of the half-frozen river, and the brittle snap of winter branches are all palpable. This is a world suspended in time, where the river’s slow movement is the only reminder that winter is not permanent, but a passing season.
