Holiday Snowman and Flurries

This scratchboard artwork captures the serene beauty of winter with a striking monochrome depiction of a snowman standing beside a leafless winter tree. Snow flurries, rendered with fine scratches, swirl gently around them, adding motion and atmosphere. The snowman, crafted from smooth, rounded forms, wears a cozy scarf and a jaunty hat, its cheerful expression etched with delicate precision. Its twig arms extend outward, adding a touch of whimsy.

The tree, skeletal and bare, contrasts against the snowman's soft curves, its branches intricately detailed with thin, sharp lines that reach toward the sky. The ground beneath is textured with subtle hatch marks, suggesting a blanket of snow, while the background remains stark and minimal, emphasizing the central figures.

The play of light and shadow, achieved through the scratchboard technique, gives the piece a dramatic and timeless quality, evoking the quiet magic of a snowy winter's day.
