"Winter Sun" by Frank Johnston is a vibrant depiction of a winter landscape illuminated by sunlight. The painting captures the delicate interplay of light and shadow on the snow, with the sun casting a warm glow that contrasts with the cool blues and purples of the shadows. The scene is tranquil, with the stark, leafless trees standing against a soft winter sky.
The composition is focused on the natural beauty of the winter season, with a small stream or path of melted snow creating a dark, winding line that draws the eye through the painting. This feature adds a dynamic element to the otherwise still and silent scene. Johnston's brushwork is evident in the textured strokes that give life to the trees' bark and the soft undulations of the snow.
