Featured Abstract Oil Painting: Bare Winter

Bare Winter 24"x24" Oil on Canvas

I created “Bare Winter” with the subdued colors of an early winter sunrise in mind. My original inspiration was purely visual: the contrast of the cold winter night giving way to the first light of the sun.

Then I came to see that the warm light breaking through the cold was powerfully symbolic. In his 'Ode to the West Wind', Shelley wrote:

“If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?”

For me, the sun on winter snow is a metaphor for healing. No matter where you are in life, there’s always hope. Sooner or later, the winter will thaw and the spring will come.

Bare Winter is 24" x 24" and is currently available from my studio with free shipping at cynthialigeros.com.
