Warm Winter Sunshine was painted around that brief time in a winter day when the sun finally rises high enough to warm you even while the air stays cold. The river and snow hold onto winter, but the light warms you from the outside in, loosening winter’s hold for a too brief moment.
 
Built with thick, visible brushwork and shifting color throughout the water and trees, the painting leans into the feeling of pausing to soak up the sunlight before it slips away again.
