Original artwork description:

This original oil artwork captures a moment of serene stillness: a vibrant blue jay perched on a snow-covered branch, surrounded by the quiet beauty of a winter morning. The bird’s vivid blue plumage stands out against the soft, neutral background, creating a striking visual contrast that immediately draws the eye. The texture of the snow and the sharp detail of the feathers reflect a deep appreciation for the intricate forms found in nature.

What inspired me to create this piece was the elegance of winter — that calm, crystalline silence after a fresh snowfall, and the resilience of life within it. The blue jay, often seen as a symbol of clarity, energy, and communication, adds a personal, emotional note to the composition. This work is both a celebration of seasonal beauty and a reminder of the quiet strength in the natural world.
