Festive Frosty Paintings Invite You into an Idyllic Winter Wonderland

Maybe you don’t want to live in a win­ter won­der­land, but Vanes­sa Bow­man will have you wish­ing that you did. Her land­scape oil paint­ings add an idyl­lic and tran­quil touch to white weath­er scenes. Among the snow on the ground are mag­nif­i­cent homes (includ­ing cas­tles) as well as sleds and sheep.

Vanes­sa is inspired by the coun­try­side around her home. “She paints fea­tures left by the work­ing of the land, punc­tu­at­ed by sea­son­al landmarks—such as skele­tons of trees in win­ter or hedgerow flow­ers in sum­mer,” her web­site explains. Framed in a fes­tive array of berries, rose hips, and cow pars­ley, these works invite you in and encour­age you to stay awhile. Enjoy the view!
