After my latest painting with summer inspiration, I felt it was time for a winter painting. I often choose to paint birch trees and trunks, but another tree that I really like is the spruce, our Christmas tree. These are common trees in the forests of Lapland. Some are tall and impressive while others are crooked with few branches, but they keep growing slowly even if the climate is cold and tough. I especially like when the spruces are adorned with snow and the branches hang weighed down with a beautiful white decoration The environment I choose was a winter day when the sun appeared just for a few hours and the shadows of the trees are dancing on the ground covered with snow. This time I have not interpreted a particular place, just painted freely on my canvas hoping that the viewer will recognize the scenery.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
