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.
