A Soft Silent Snowfall

 
A Soft Silent Snowfall, contemporary landscape painting by Peter Kettle depicting a snow-covered woodland and stream in Hokkaido, Japan.

100 x 120 cm

oil and mixed media on canvas

 

A Soft Silent Snowfall captures the stillness of a winter woodland in Hokkaido beneath fresh snow. Slender trees rise through layers of white, turquoise and muted earth, while a dark stream winds through the frozen ground. Built through layered oil and mixed-media marks, the painting reflects the softened colour, fragmented forms and quiet atmosphere of the Japanese landscape in winter.
