Winter is Coming

Although Winter does not officially begin until December 21st, the first of December unofficially commences the preparations for Winter’s festivities.  While December weather in Boston is a bit more frigid than Los Angeles’ breezy mid 60 degree temperature, it nonetheless kickstarts a universal nostalgia for Winter coziness: either sitting by the fire, or simulated yule log on TV. Naturally, the change of seasons inspires artists, whose paintings wonderfully capture the tranquility of a still December snow. These paintings are a much-needed antidote for warmer climates and its inhabitants who don’t experience a “real” Christmas, very much amplifying whimsical ideas of serene snow storms.Art history’s December very much illustrates a change of mentality, transitioning from the vivacious scenes of communal activity of summer, to solitary, static panoramas of a New England forest.  Let FADA’s collection of winter works put you in a snug mood in preparation for the cold season!
