Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting,Fine Art Oil Painting,“Hibernation” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

The deer and elk migrated weeks ago to the warmer valley below. The animals that stay behind will find a cozy place under the snow to hibernate, fish will live comfortably under the ice and aspens shed their leaves. Occasionally a wind breaks the winter silence as it whistles through the tree tops. The tall pines sway back and forth, adding a soft rhythmic creaking to the gentle sounds of Winter.

This little piece is one of my personal favorites, and I really can’t tell you why. Every-once-in-awhile a piece of art just speaks to us … all of us. It awakens warm, happy feelings that reach out to us saying, “please take me home with you”. I should keep this one, but artists have to draw the line on collecting their own work somewhere!

Winter Landscape, Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting,Colorado Landscape, Fine Art Oil Painting, “Frosty Morning" by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

When the bare branches on trees collect moisture during an exceptionally cold, damp winter night, they appear as a frosty greenish/blue mass in the early dawn. It’s a beautiful, surreal fairyland that makes the red tops of dormant bushes along the pond seem even brighter.
