Original Creation

Winter among the Pines - Nicholas Hankins

joha59 09 Sep 2025

It was a rainy day here and I had some time over to paint another episode (3rd) of the Joy of Painting season 33 (or 2 from Nic) where not so many colors were needed. The part I liked the most was painting the snowy land under the trees with just one stroke and a lot of white on the brush going over the whole canvas starting far away and coming closer and closer. I did this painting again on thick white paintable wallpaper with two layers of white gesso prepared with a paint roller, it gives some texture and makes it easier to get the paint break on the mountain, the size was 40 x 30 cm.

A real beauty, love the trees.

Soft and beautiful. Nice work!

Gorgeous composition! Those look like perfect examples of my favorite tree…the eastern white pine. And the mountain is perfect!

Great job. Very well painted!

Thank you all for your nice comments Dirk, Helen, Jon, Larson and Tom!

Looks beautiful! I especially like the bends in your tree trunks; my imagination tells me wintry blizzards shaped them over the years 😊

Yeh, you are right Kerry, thank you!
