Winter Reflections Painting


Winter Reflections is a 36" X 48" original 2" deep gallery wrapped canvas oil painting. Krel began this painting in February of 2020 and completed it on January 7th of 2021. The inspiration for this painting came when Krel explored the effects of the mirror-like
reflections on a cold winter creek.
The soft background colors were
blocked in with a pallet knife and then finished with Krel's liner brush color weaving technique to create the
textures of the natural elements. The
trees and details were then painted
with thin liner brushes that allow Krel
to capture every little branch of the
trees, bushes and foliage in the snowy landscape.
Below left is a detailed
section of the painting.
On the right is the process
that Krel uses to continue
the image on the sides of
the canvas to create a
dimensional look when
viewed on the wall.
