Winter Gnome

A chubby, round Scandinavian gnome (tomte/nisse) stands centered in a snowy winter scene, wearing a tall pointed red hat, navy blue coat, red mittens, and black boots, with a large fluffy white beard and a round peach nose. Two dark evergreen trees flank the figure in the background against a bright cerulean blue sky dotted with falling white snowflakes. The color palette is bold and cheerful — vivid red, deep navy, white, and sky blue — conveying a whimsical, festive holiday mood. The brushwork is loose and textural with an acrylic style; the simplified, cartoonish subject makes it highly accessible for beginner painters.
