I find it exciting. What appeals to me is that it pulls you in making you want to go down that very long road that disappears into the distance, somewhere where the warm sun is far ahead.
Your use of a one pointed perspective where everything radiates away from the center of the canvas makes it very specific that it’s about where the road may lead. It also grabs your attention because it creates visual tension. You feel the depth, as if you must travel the road to get someplace far away. It pulls you in.
Your colors are brilliant and richly saturated and they light up the scene with your balanced use of the warm golden yellow and pink colors in the sky and reflected in the snow, and the cool greens of the pines and the light blues and purples highlighting the branches and snow. The effect is that the painting sparkles as if every bit of snow is reflecting the light. Your road looks like a dirt road with deep tire grooves and spots that look like slushy and frozen pools and tire tracks. You know it will be a bumpy ride. The painting is compelling and it seems to be the beginning of a story, a trek, a journey to some other place.
You’re doing great with your paintings. They are successful and thought provoking. It’s warm and cold and inviting and a little scary because of the uncertainty of the road conditions and because it looks like it might be close to sunset. Close to getting dark. I love it!
