Winter Rhythm Jan 31, 2022
Rhythm: A strong, regular, repeated pattern of movement or sound.
Music often spills over into my art. I’ve played some music (bass) over the years and understand the basic elements of sound. It’s fascinating how well those components work in painting.
Here, the subject is a simple tree and meadow landscape.
But what I really painted was soft color harmony and a lilting winter rhythm.

Oh how bleak and beautiful.. It is very peaceful to look at
I really love this painting. It is very calming to me.
A lovely painting with a strong rythm!
Very nice one
Soooooooo beautiful!
Your warm colors of this painting would fit perfectly into the Civil War quilt I am making. I love the way the arts blend and mesh together. Thank you for your gift of beauty today.
I was scrolling slowly and looked at this piece quite a while before reading your comments. I want to tell you that your remarks about music were, to me, obvious in the painting, because while looking I was thinking, “It’s ;like Burchfield — the way B. painted the songs of birds, painted sound.” Not an expert here, but I do love Burchfield! And am a fan of you.
The great thing about winter is it slows us all down a bit, I love this paintng just reminds you of a cold winters day. Just watching snow on trees can be a beautiful sight.
This is haunting.. soft and beautiful like a Debussy composition. Thank you, Peter.
Thank you all for the nice comments! Peter
