After Snowfall, Oil Painting

Artist Comments
Artist Nikolay Rizhankov shows a tranquil winter scene in this work. A boy walks his dog around the frosty driveway on a quiet evening. They both enjoy the stillness of the season after a snowfall. A sense of sentimentality and nostalgia strongly emanates from the painting. Amidst the theme of cold, it makes the viewer feel warmth.
