A slender bare tree rises on the left, its branches touched with turquoise, while a dark stand of pines fills the right side in deep navy. The sky is the star of the piece, swept with bold bands of ochre, cream and teal that seem to move across the paper. Below, the snow is painted in cool blues and lavender with flashes of white. Senft builds the scene with energetic, directional strokes that give it rhythm. It is a lively, glowing take on the cold season.

The cool palette suits a bedroom, a home office or a ski cabin. It pairs well with navy textiles, pale gray walls, white oak and touches of gold or brass. On a dresser or a small wall it adds depth and a sense of open space to a compact room. It will be shipped carefully rolled in a protective tube for safer international transportation.

Acrylic on Cotton Paper, 15 x 11.8 in (38 × 30 cm).

Batia Senft is an Israeli-Dutch painter, born in Bulgaria, who lives and works between Israel and the Netherlands. Her paintings grow from a deep bond with landscape, weather and the quiet feelings found in nature. Working in watercolor, acrylic, ink and pastel, she builds layered scenes where fields, skies and trees ease into one another.

Senft paints intuitively, following the flow of color on paper and letting unexpected marks guide each piece. Her work moves between abstraction and realism, with light, weather and the turn of the seasons setting the mood. Her paintings have been shown in Israel, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy and South Korea, and are collected internationally. See less
