Nocturne

Nocturne is a 3 by 4 inch oil painting that portrays a snow-covered mountain beneath a deep blue night sky. I focused on the rugged texture of the mountain’s icy surface, using thick brushstrokes to bring out its weight and form. At the base, a line of dark evergreens stands in silhouette, contrasting with the bright snow above. In the foreground, a reflective body of water mirrors the landscape and the small, bright moon in the sky, adding depth and balance to the scene. The layered blues and whites aim to capture a quiet moment of stillness in a cold winter night.
