Christmas is coming (2021)Watercolour
by Natalia Butenko

“Christmas is Coming” is a watercolor filled with silence, light, and the quiet anticipation of a miracle. Along a snowy path walks a young boy, bundled in a warm winter coat, mittens, and sturdy boots. Snow clings lightly to his clothes, and each step leaves a soft imprint in the untouched snow. In front of him, he pushes a small wheelbarrow carrying a forest pine tree and brightly wrapped gifts in red paper — messengers of the holiday to come.
In the distance, nestled in a gentle winter haze, cozy houses await — it is there he is heading, bringing with him warmth, the scent of pine, and a touch of wonder. The frost nips at his cheeks, but his heart is full of joy. He knows: Christmas is near. And in this moment, he is not just a boy — he is a little magician, helping create the magic of the season, becoming part of the story himself.
This painting is like a quiet winter tale, where each brushstroke brings closer the gentle evening filled with love, warmth, and the promise of Christmas.
