Title: Signs of Winter
Artist: Susan James
About This Piece:
"Signs of Winter," captures a quintessential cozy indoor scene – in front of the rustic fireplace we see a small table set for drinks, and a green rug with a checkerboard game partially laid out. Brightly colored snowsuits and a scarf—in purple, blue, and yellow—hang on the back of a chair near the hearth, their placement serving as a clear indicator, or "sign," of a recent and joyful return from the cold outdoors. The selective application of color over the fine lines of the etching technique infuses the domestic interior with warmth and energy, immortalizing a casual moment of familial chaos and comfort against the backdrop of a cold day.
