Now that the snowy weather is upon us, why not deck the halls with prints featuring winter landscapes? After all, they can easily be used with a variety of cool weather holidays. So you won’t have to technically swap them out with new artwork until the spring thaw. With that said, here are five winter landscape art collections that would be ideal for holiday decorating purposes:
Winter Landscape Art Collection #1: Bill Breedon
Are you a fan of early Americana and scenes of pastoral bliss? If so, watercolor artist Bill Breedon is one man to put onto your radar. His paintings of idyllic winter landscapes are tailor made for decking the halls. This is especially the case with the prints that feature a horse drawn sleigh. You’ll be hard-pressed not to at least hum a few bars of Jingle Bells every time you pass by one. Sleigh themed prints to look for include Sleigh Bells, Sleigh Bells Too, O’er the Hills We Go, Back Home Again and Twilight Glow.
Winter Landscape Art Collection #2: John Rossini
Another artist known for painting wintry countryside scenes is John Rossini. His prints have a distinctive New England feel to them. As such, they would pair well with traditional holiday decorations and candles. Pieces from Rossini’s collection to consider bringing into your home or business include December Glow, February Night, Bringing Home the Tree, Nor’easter and Winter’s Reflections.
Winter Landscape Art Collection #3: Peter Sculthorpe
While we are on the subject of country scenes, artist Peter Sculthorpe is worthy of attention as well. He has a multitude of seasonal prints that feature Pennsylvania’s charming farms, horses and homes. They would pair well with classic decorations like evergreen boughs, wreaths and Yule logs too. His prints of note include Buckskin, Buckboard, Moon Over Hillendale, Melon Basket and The Woodsman.
Winter Landscape Art Collection #4: Camille Pissarro
Do you prefer to surround your family with pictures of snow laden cityscapes instead of farmland? Then Dutch West Indies born artist Camille Pissarro’s body of work is sure to please. Several of his paintings feature scenes from France. Prints that may appeal to your sensibilities are The Avenue de L’Opera, Paris Sunlight Winter Morning and the Chestnut Trees at Louveciennes.
Winter Landscape Art Collection #5: Utagawa Hiroshiqe
Last on our list is artist Utagawa Hiroshiqe. He created a series of woodblock and ukiyo-e style artwork prior to 1858. Understandably, much of his work focused on scenes from Japan. Winter prints to contemplate adding to your collection include Women in the Snow at Fujisawa and View of Mount Haruna in the Snow. You may want to hang them up in areas filled with Asian themed, holiday lights and sculptures.
