Every night that I go to bed, I look out my window toward the cosmos. Its not exactly intentional. I’ve never been a particularly cosmic person, growing up in Warsaw, Poland and then in the NJ suburbs and finally New York City in my early adulthood, I wasn’t exposed to the magnificence of the night sky on a regular basis. As I became immersed in the great outdoors in my early adulthood, I got to enjoy the night sky more and more.
This is painting inspired by Winter in the San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado where I live. I love when the snowy conditions create beautifully soft colors on the mountains. When the sun begins to set, the snow covered mountains can briefly appear to be a spectacular shades of blue. Set against the brightly colored sky, the mountains look magical.

In this new painting, I strove to convey the pristine, breathtaking look of Winter in Colorado. Its been snowing here in Pagosa Springs where I live and I felt particularly inspired. Sometimes I look out the window at the snowy wonderland and admire the beauty while at the same time, I am fascinated by how cold the season can get and I’m comforted by all the warm, cozy blankets around me =) Sometimes it feel like you can almost see the crystals forming in the air around you. I kept that thought in my mind while I painted and wanted to capture the fidget yet beautiful feeling of Winter.
I had an extended break following the completion of my Autumn Collection. It felt good to pick up the paintbrush and my paint markers. These small works are the start of my Winter Collection. Here I focused on early morning and night scenes. Winter’s Dawn II, acrylic on board, 6″x12″x1.5″, 2022 ~Available Enchanted Winter Night ...
This fun little project is more of a unique way for me to create miniature, affordable art to share with my audience, rather than something that I can sustain creating on a regular basis. Its a way for me to connect to folks who care about my art and what I do – my way to share my work on a more accessible scale. The bonus of that, with this particular project, is that these small round landscapes make perfect ornaments, though they can hang on a wall year round in a non-Christmas celebrating home. They are perfect tiny accents for a special nook of a room, adding a bit of nature’s magic.
