A Winter Canvas

Staring at white canvas on a chilly winters day Sketching from memory he draws without delay Brush strokes swift, he paints with expert hands The artist portraying now a winter wonderland. Undressed trees in different shapes and heights Patched up with shining blobs of whites Pines trees standing in white satin Like cutouts from a giant paper pattern. Snowflakes like tiny dancers moving to and fro Dancing to a silent tune to the ground below A carpet rolled out in fluffy soft white Sparkling tiny diamonds caught with the light. The beauty lies in hues of white and grey His palette on the darker side a stroke of ray Colour coming from a pit dug out in the snow A group of people feel the warmth huddling in the glow. 09.12.2020
