Description
Winter is the final panel in a four panel series titled "Four Seasons".
With Winter comes wisdom and awareness of what is to come. Time seems to pass so quickly that while the couple is in the midst of their frozen surroundings they are keenly aware of and look almost confused by the sounds and sights just off the canvas. Is it Spring that is coming or the end of life?
Ironically the panel I expected to challenge me the most, and that I thought I would like the least has turned out to be my favorite, and flowed the best. From the beginning I thought the final panel, Winter would be drab and dull, and not so fun to paint. It would represent the cold, empty end of life, loss and even sadness. During this time my Mother was hospitalized for 3 weeks and while in skilled nursing she suffered a major cerebellar stroke. I spent that time helping her and my Dad, and facing my own personal fears of death, loss and my own mortality. We all made it through that difficult time and my Mom is recovered and well. When I returned to painting Winter I had a fresh perspective on the later stages of life. I incorporated human qualities like strength, perseverance, love, patience, free will and compassion. In the end I think I enjoyed the process of composing and painting Winter most of all.
