This painting is my contest entry for Colours With a Meaning Contest. You can read about it here, and let me know if you decide to enter! [link]

I chose the colour blue with a lot of greyish white tones. To me, it represents a desolation and a cold heart, immense lonesomeness, and a tranquility and peace that it brings.

Selected quotes that inspired this painting from the novel Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr:

Clutching the silk-smooth wood of the Winter Queen's staff - [she] walked out of her cottage and into the shadow of the barren trees.

As if she had always done so, [the Winter Queen] tapped the staff as she walked the earth, sending freezing fingers into the soil, the first taste of the winter that would soon follow.

Silently [she] stepped onto the now-frozen surface of the river. She tilted her face to the gray sky and opened her mouth. Winds shrieked from her lips; icicles gathered on the metal of the bridge.

As quietly as the snow falling around her, [the Winter Queen] turned back to the frozen night and skated across the river, spilling her handful of snow like glitter on the ice.
