Winter Catch is composed from a mixture of mediums. This painting captures a quiet yet powerful moment in nature. A great blue heron, rendered in expressive acrylics with soft blues, greys, and purples, stands on fractured ice at the edge of a thawing lake. It holds a freshly caught fish in its beak, symbolizing both survival and the shift of seasons.

The foreground is textured and bold, with visible brushstrokes that bring the cold, broken ice to life. In contrast, the background fades into a dreamy, abstract blend of pastels and chalks—muted pinks, pale blues, and soft yellows—that suggest early spring’s light and melting air. The result is a striking mix of realism and abstraction, anchoring the viewer in a fleeting moment between winter and renewal.

This piece brings a sense of calm, quiet tension, and natural beauty—perfect for collectors drawn to wildlife, seasonal transitions, or expressive landscapes. Take home your piece of serenity today!
