Skier Deep in Snow (Abstract) takes the exhilaration of a powder run and turns it into design. Richard Wieth strips away the mountain’s specifics and leaves motion: diagonal cuts that read as turns, spray that reads as light burst, a figure compressed to angles and speed. Cool whites carry most of the field, broken by sharper blues and a few decisive warms that signal body and gear. The result is part landscape, part heartbeat—the way a line feels when you’re in it. Texture plays a central role. Thick, skittering passes mimic thrown snow; thinner, glassy layers hold the quiet between turns.
 
 
The composition leans forward, pulling the eye from top-left to bottom-right in a run you can feel in your knees. It’s an energizing painting for spaces that want lift—home gyms, creative studios, or any room where winter belongs all year.
