"Steeple and Snow: Reflections of Braemar" is a vibrant gouache painting on handmade 100% cotton paper, measuring 12" x 14". The artwork captures a picturesque winter scene in the charming village of Braemar, Aberdeenshire. Quaint houses with red and white façades nestle in the foreground, their rooftops lightly dusted with snow. In the background, a majestic church steeple rises, its stone architecture lending an air of timelessness to the village scene. Bare-branched trees stand as gentle sentinels before a lush palette of green and yellow foliage.

The painting showcases bright colors and bold, dynamic brushstrokes that bring to life the serene yet lively atmosphere of the village. The composition balances geometric and organic elements, offering an emotive interpretation rather than a literal one. This work invites viewers to experience a sense of calm serenity and reflection, evoking feelings of nostalgia and warmth. The complexity of the scene provides an engaging visual journey without resorting to photorealism, focusing instead on an expressive representation that draws in the observer.
