Under the Cold Cold Earth
November 28, 2007 | Filed Under paintings | by Sarah Blank | 11 CommentsJust a tiny painting to hold me over as I paint away on a larger piece. Under the Cold Cold Earth will soon be available as a mini print in my shop- 3″ by 5″, I think. I love silvery birch trees, especially in the winter. This piece is painted on my favorite sheet of rich, patterned paper mounted to a chunky 3″ by 5″ canvas, so the birch trees wrap around the sides. I think I’ll cover my sketchbook in the remaining scraps of paper.
too beautiful, your paintings are always like the entryway to a peaceful dream, to me. a world that i long to belong to!
i adore the little creature (a fox?) curled up with her…..like they are noth awaiting some sort of awakening.
aw thanks so much lou! I had a dream of a tree line such as this one…you are right on target! I think its a fox…a white wintery one maybe. I wonder if there is such thing?
What a beautiful piece and those trees just have a life of their own! I have that same chocolate brown decorative paper but haven’t been brave enough to use it. Looks so wonderful in your piece:)
Thanks so much Christine!
I love the paper so much…it came in a big ‘ole crisp sheet (and it wasnt the cheapest paper either) and yes it was hard to cut up! I love brown and black together, so its perfect.
Hello Sarah,
Of course white foxes exist (arctic foxes are beautiful wintery creatures – they change colour with the changing seasons – they’re brown during summer and white during winter).
Muriel.
And they are so so pretty in white! We have red fox here and every once in awhile I get a glimpse of them.
Your paintings are beautiful, I like this one a lot.
Thanks so much Katrine!
