Winter to Spring Painting

This piece is from my series called SNOW. It is inspired by my upbringing in Norway where the light is everything. Norways bold landscape has forever left its mark in my consciousness from the colors and the light that is constantly changing to the smell of nature from the different seasons and the northern light and how snow transform the landscape. it feels like you are part of something spiritual. This piece is how snow after many months of winter begins to melt away and you can see spring coming through the cracks. the painting itself took a few years to create as it is layer upon layer of paint, then eventually I carved into the thick paint after years of it drying to get some of the first layers to show.
