Alpine Christmas, Original Painting

2025

Artist Comments
This charming cabin nestled in the snow-capped Alps celebrates the warmth of Christmas. Smoke curls from the chimney as a decorated pine tree and a cheerful, child-made snowman stand watch in the yard. A mountain stream winds through the foreground, reflecting the towering, rocky peaks beyond. The scene evokes the spirit of a cozy, family holiday high in the mountains.

About the Artist
Artist Art Clark paints quiet rural scenes that reimagine the past with a sense of nostalgia and mystery. “When I see a scene that intrigues me, my imagination transforms it into what I wish it could be—a forgotten relic in the woods, a mountaintop, or a lone structure lost in the prairie,” says Art. He began painting in 2017 after years as a landscape photographer, initially inspired by an episode of Paint This With Jerry Yarnell on PBS. Largely self-taught, he honed his craft through close observation of admired artists, eventually developing a style that balances storytelling with expressive brushwork. His studio is a simple yet creative space—just an easel, a supply cart, and perfect lighting. It doubles as his music room, where his electric guitar makes sure the neighbors know he’s home. Outside of painting, Art is a certified health coach, a woodworker, and a photographer with a deep love for Mexican food.
