As I gazed out of the window on that serene Sunday morning, the wintry scene before me seemed to encapsulate the essence of the season, and it has been too long if you ask me. The freshly fallen snow delicately blanketed the landscape, creating a picturesque view.
Yet, as I contemplated the enduring presence of snow over the past five months, I couldn’t help but yearn for the imminent arrival of spring. Though the winter wonderland had its own undeniable allure, the prospect of bidding farewell to the snow-laden landscape and welcoming a new season brimming with vibrancy and warmth filled me with anticipation.
As I embarked on my graphic art course, the view from the window served as a gentle reminder of the symbiotic relationship between my surroundings and the artistic journey unfolding within. I was eager to channel the essence of the serene landscape outside into my creative pursuits within the course.

These are samples of the inspiration from the window view. Most of my artistic attempts can be labeled as color therapy than art 🙂

This post is beautiful in every way–from your window view to your art!
Thanks Anne for saying so 🙂
😊
What a beautiful view! Interesting how the perspective changes with distance. Including the table adds a lot for me.
Yes, I agree with from distance it looks better 😀 Thanks Frank!
Those snowy trees are beautiful but there comes a time when we all long for spring I believe! Your paintings are beautiful too, especially the left-hand one which really captures the feel of those trees ❤
Sarah. I am so over the snow. We’ve had it for 5 months now, enough I say. Thanks for your kind words on my art.
I was going to say “Picturesque view, and and nice art table”. Guess I was right when I red the end. 😀 😀
So the picture tells it better than words 🙂
Great inspiration. What a great place to contemplate what your art should be. You just had a show, yes? How did it go? And I know I live in a warm place, but I always love those brisk, icy tree photos.
Donna, the reviews are positive from what I’ve head. Still a week to go. Snow looks nice in photos, otherwise I do not enjoy it at all. Well it does brighten things in winter, I will you that.
Yes, I remember living in cold climates. The snow is initially pretty then gets grey. There is good and bad wherever we decide to land . Continued luck on your show.
Wonderful views of those wintry trees. And if those paintings are therapy – let’s have more of them – they are marvelous!
Thanks Ludwig, so kind of you to say so.
Wow these look awesome! I must say wherever you live looks amazing…so tranquil! Kind regards…Jay😊
Thanks Jay, I live in Finland, the happiest country in the world for the 7th year in a row :-D
You are welcome Ritva 😊. Wow, that is some accolade, for the 7th year in a row? Finland is maybe where my Son & I should head to then, as the UK seems to be getting pretty grim. Finland certainly looks a beautiful country! Kind regards…Jay
Most picturesque, and it would seem very inspiring
It is a nice view, better than block of buildings. Thanks Sue
