"Winter, a time when the sky is often grey, pairs perfectly with the grey-toned muted colors, such as slate blue, winter white, charcoal, mauve, burgundy, and an endless variety of pastels and “icy” colors. Winter's colors are like a snowscape: icy, muted, subtly greyed, and very subdued."
During the Winter, I have created over 20 digital art pieces using different colors and techniques. Since, January 2020, I have created over 20 paintings on canvas or paper. Winter is an extremely cold season and a perfect time to create, reflect and share gifts from the heart.
The below digital art piece is entitled: Winter Time.

Winter Time, a time to meditate, relax, renew, rest, and create new ideas filled with hope and grace. In this digital art piece, I use some winter colors such as mauve, burgundy, charcoal, slate blue and winter white. Each color in the digital art piece representing a different meaning. Colors are important element in creating any piece of art.
"Mauve is the hue of decadence, youth, and femininity. It evokes feelings of purity and devotion, with the moodiness of a deeper purple. Mauve brings to mind the ethos of renewal associated with springtime."
"Burgundy as a deep hue of the color red signifies strength and power. It is seen as more serious than lighter shades of red, lacking fun. However, it has the same energy as red, which can provoke emotion such as excitement and passion."
"Charcoal grey is a very dark shade of grey - almost black but still lighter. The name of the color comes from charcoal - material made of wood burnt in a high temperature with low access to oxygen."
"Slate blue is a grayish-blue color."
"Winter white is an "off-white" : in more of the cream range, but not too yellow, though it is a warm rather than cool tone. "
