This oil painting depicts a winter scene, and I am trying to capture the unique tranquility and beauty of that season through light, color, and detail. In the picture, a small path covered in snow winds through the forest, as if leading the viewer into a fairy tale world covered in white snow. The branches of the trees are covered with snowflakes, each one sparkling and translucent, as if it were a carefully crafted work of nature.

Light and shadow play a crucial role in the picture. The afterglow of the sunset shone through the treetops and onto the snow, forming golden spots of light. These light spots create a sharp contrast with the surrounding cool tones, making the entire image full of layering and depth. At the same time, the changes in light and shadow cleverly guide the viewer's gaze, from the snow trails on the path, to the orange blue gradient colors in the sky, to the blurry character contours, every detail is full of storytelling.

The orange and blue gradient in the sky is my interpretation of winter dusk. The afterglow of the sunset intertwines with the blue sky, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere. This atmosphere makes people feel purified, as if all their troubles have been washed away by this pure color.

In the oil painting, I deliberately left a few blurry outlines of the characters. They may be travelers walking or spectators stopping to appreciate the snow scenery. The presence of these characters adds vitality and dynamism to the painting, making it not only a landscape painting, but also a painting about the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
