The Winter Creek
The Winter Creek is featuring the colours and beauty of a sunny winter day. The blue sky and not quite frozen creek work together to present a beautiful peaceful quiet scene in nature. Groulx has masterfully painted the natural beauty of this scene, with vivid colors and intricate details, using the old masters method of painting in layers of thin oil paint that transports you to the depth of this peaceful scenic moment in nature. From a distance is when this artwork really comes to life, inviting the viewer into its depths. Groulx writes, "Winter can bring about beautiful scenes when coated in snow that brightens and lightens a scene. I rarely paint images of winter. Somehow though this particular vision left me feeling cold and breathless. It is always better when the sun is out highlighting blue variations of colour in the shades in the shadows, making it almost seem warmer. I was happy to bring the cold of the scene as a photo, to paint in my studio where I would then feel warmer as brush met paint.
Oil on canvas.
