Original artwork description:

In creating this artwork, I sought to capture the serene beauty of a wintry landscape bathed in a magical, soft light. The figures on horseback, enveloped in warm attire, reflect a harmonious connection with nature, evoking a sense of tranquility and companionship amidst the chill. My use of impressionist techniques highlights the fleeting, delicate quality of light and shadow on the snow, inviting viewers to feel the quietude and gentle pace of a snowy day. This painting is meant to bring a peaceful yet invigorating energy to any space, offering a window to a serene, frosty world where time slows and beauty unfolds in the chill of winter. Spring, the sun is already warming and melt snow crunches under the hooves of horses passing by.
