Marin Gruia - winter landscapes

Landscapes are one of my dad's major sources of inspiration. He makes sketches when he goes fishing, when he travels around the country with my mom, when he explores the surrounding of their mountain cabin in the Apuseni. As it is the right season, here are a couple of his winter landscapes, reflecting Transylvanian nature and his own sensitivity. You can check and like his Facebook page - Marin Gruia - as well and his website in Romanian - www.gruiamarin.ro

These paintings are created in two of his favorite techniques, oil on canvas and pastel on paper.

Marin Gruia's new Facebook page

As a Christmas surprise I have created a brand new Facebook page for my father, an established painter from Romania, whose computer-using skills are just not up to speed with the task. So I am turning manager and present you the beautiful, sensitive, classical-looking landscapes and flowers, in oil and pastel, of Marin Gruia from Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
Feel free to like the page and contribute to the surprise!
