In the Shelter of Snow

Weston Colville, Cambridgeshire, UK.

Oil on canvas 94.5x64x2cm

In Weston Colville, winter softened the world into silence, the road stretching through snow toward the glow of a house. Against the cold expanse, its warmth shone brighter, a promise of shelter, belonging, and home. This was the village where we bought our first house, where permanence replaced transience. The painting holds that moment of contrast: the frost and stillness of winter set against the tender certainty of warmth within, a reminder of the deep comfort in finding a place to call our own.
