Wind over Ice: An Oil Painting Among Icebergs

An epic oil painting of a windswept polar seascape among towering icebergs. Thick impasto brushstrokes convey the force of the wind as spray and mist curl around jagged ice. A cool palette of deep blues, cerulean, turquoise, and pure white dominates, with hints of pale yellow from a low sun. The sea is choppy and reflective, while the icebergs rise like sculpted monoliths, some translucent where the light passes through. Wind is suggested by bent snowdrifts, swirling snow, and weathered ice surfaces. Dramatic lighting with high contrast between shadowed crevices and glinting ice, creating a moody, timeless atmosphere reminiscent of classic oil painters but rendered with bold, textured strokes.
