Viburnum in Winter – Day 40/365 | Original Oil Pastel Painting on Paper

This original A4 oil pastel painting captures viburnum in winter through an expressive, atmospheric composition. Soft layers of grey and blue evoke a cold, quiet landscape, while vivid red accents suggest winter berries emerging through branches and frost. Created as part of my 365-day daily painting project (Day 40), the piece reflects a moment of stillness, contrast, and seasonal transition.

The surface is built with layered oil pastel, combining drawing and painterly marks to create texture and depth. Fine linear elements suggest branches, while the blurred background creates a sense of air, cold, and movement. The red forms act as focal points, bringing warmth and life into an otherwise muted palette.

This is a one-of-a-kind original artwork on A4 paper (21 × 29.7 cm), ideal for collectors of contemporary botanical art, expressive nature-inspired painting, and abstract floral compositions.

Perfect for those searching for viburnum painting, winter botanical art, red berry artwork, oil pastel landscape, contemporary abstract nature painting, or original small-format artwork for home decor.
