Inspired by the quiet warmth of winter evenings, this painting captures a cozy moment by the fireplace — festive striped socks, soft firelight, and the calm atmosphere of the holiday season. It reflects the simple joy of being home, slowing down, and enjoying the glow of December nights.

I hope viewers feel comfort, nostalgia, and a sense of relaxed winter intimacy. The scene is meant to bring a smile, evoke memories, and create a feeling of peaceful warmth.

I chose oil paint for its rich texture and ability to recreate the movement of flames and the softness of fabric. The expressive brushwork and warm palette highlight the contrast between glowing fire and cozy textiles, making this piece a perfect addition to seasonal décor and inviting interior spaces
