COME IN AND STAY AWHILE

Chris Wood

A stylized Southern Appalachian winter landscape illustration in shades of turquoise and white. Inspired by the words of poet Christ Wood, a full moon dominates the night sky, surrounded by concentric circular halos. Snow-covered trees with black trunks frame the scene, their branches laden with white snow. Snowflakes fall throughout the image, creating a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere. The composition curves upward toward the moon, creating a sense of movement and drawing the eye skyward through the snowy forest.
