A wooden gate stands in the foreground of a snow-blanketed landscape, its dark frame contrasting sharply against the brilliant white blanket that stretches toward a frozen river and distant tree-lined banks. Soft washes of blue, lavender, and pale yellow create a hushed winter atmosphere, with a solitary magpie perched on the snowy ground, while the impressionistic brushwork captures the diffused light of an overcast winter day. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
