Winter's great beauty

'Frost on Cassington Road, Eynsham'
by Lorna Marrison - oil on canvas
20. x 15. x 1.8 cm - £100
"Winter is considered a drear time of year but there is great beauty in the soft muted colours of this season" says artist Lorna Marrison.
 
"'Frost on the Cassington Road' is one of my 'seasons' paintings. This small intimate canvas draws you through the dark laced branches into a frosted field. Here is frozen time waiting for sun."
 
Below is a sketch Lorna made earlier this year. She says: "Christmas is over and I have the January blues waiting for spring. I made this sketch down the Cassington Road in Eynsham whilst perched on some cold agriculture machinery."
