The oil painting titled "End of December" captures a serene winter moment, portraying two bullfinches perched on the bare branches of a tree. The tree's limbs are highlighted with subtle traces of snow, underscoring the cold but peaceful season. The sky behind is painted in a crisp, clear blue, suggesting the cool, bright days of late December. The stark branches crisscross the canvas, creating an intricate pattern that contrasts with the smoothness of the birds' plumage. The bullfinches are rendered with a vibrant touch; their bright red-orange chests stand out against the muted tones of the background, drawing the viewer's eye directly to them. Their black heads are detailed with care, and their stout bodies are puffed against the winter's chill. The painting skillfully captures the texture of the birds' feathers and the brittle quality of the branches. The use of light and shadow gives the scene a three-dimensional quality and a sense of the time of day, possibly a quiet afternoon. The artist's signature and the year '22 affirm the painting's recent creation. "End of December" is more than a simple depiction of wildlife; it is a tranquil snapshot of nature's quiet beauty as the year comes to a close, reminding the viewer of the stillness and calm that winter brings.
