This abstract winter painting features a birch tree standing tall against the cool expanse of Lake Superior. While the background shimmers with layered blues and purples, evoking the frozen stillness of water and sky, the birch itself is alive with unexpected color.
Its bark is textured with vibrant streaks of magenta, teal, and lemon yellow—pops of brightness that pulse with energy against the winter scene. Thick acrylic brushstrokes give the tree a sense of movement, as if it’s catching light from somewhere unseen.
It’s a quiet landscape full of contrast: cold and warmth, stillness and energy, simplicity and surprise.
