Christmas 14 images Created 3 Nov 2022

Jan Keteleer's latest collection is a heartfelt homage to the serene magic of Christmas and the quiet elegance of winter forests. Each brushstroke is a window into the artist's soul, shaped by childhood memories of pristine snow crunching underfoot, the glow of Christmas lights illuminating the darkness, and moments of joyful stillness surrounded by nature's quiet company. These paintings are not merely decorative pieces, but invitations—beckoning viewers to pause and reflect on the softer, more intimate facets of the season.
By marrying the cold, crisp tones of winter with the warm glow of festive lights, Keteleer has crafted a unique color palette that exudes both tranquility and warmth. The subtle interplay of light and shadow draws the eye deeper into each scene, creating a sense of depth that almost whispers of the forest's secrets. Every detail, from the delicate frost clinging to pine needles to the rough bark of ancient trees, is rendered with meticulous, soulful care.
But what truly elevates this collection are the emotions it stirs. Each piece captures a moment of peace, nostalgia, or wonder—reminders of Christmases past and the enduring beauty of togetherness. This collection is for those who cherish both fine art and the unspoken magic of the holiday season.

  • A Christmas scene in the forest. Two deer look back when a buck steps towards them; It is snowing and the trees are covered by the falling snow. It is almost evening and the light has a warm glow. <br />
I created this piece with Christmas in mind and this from a child's perspective that can imagine everything so romantic. the piece is therefore meant to be heartwarming in your interior during the cold dark winter months. <br />
Just made to create coziness.

  • A fun and unique Christmas tableau. A deer, along with a squirrel, is readying Christmas baubles. Two little birds then hang them on a tree.<br />
<br />
I created this piece from a perspective peculiar to the wonderful world children live in. It is a fantasy image that melts your heart.<br />
<br />
This is a fun work to hang in your interior during the dark winter months and especially at Christmas.

  • Any lover of cats knows that at Christmas they prefer to play with the baubles. You can't imagine how they do it but the baubles in your Christmas tree are going down.<br />
<br />
With this in mind and because Christmas is coming I made this little scene.<br />
Two cats playing outside in the snow with some baubles.<br />
Just a nice little scene to brighten up your home during the dark winter months.

  • What could be cozier at Christmas to sit in a little cabin in front of the wood stove. Outside it is freezing and the night is clear with a shining star in the sky. From the forest, two reindeer come to see what is going on and are puzzled by the snowman at the door.<br />
<br />
I made this piece to brighten up your interior at Christmas so you can get through the dark end-of-year days in all coziness.

  • Surely this cannot be! Penguins standing together with a polar bear at an igloo, impossible.<br />
<br />
But wait a minute. There is a reindeer with a sleigh waiting and presents at the igloo? A Christmas tree also stands in the snowy plain....<br />
From the entrance of the igloo light shines, there is someone inside. But that's obviously Santa Claus taking a break or is he just waking up and beginning his trek to hand out presents everywhere.<br />
<br />
Of course, it is.<br />
<br />
I made this little work for everyone who loves Christmas and still has a child's heart.

  • What do you do during the Christmas season? Precisely making a snowman before retreating in front of the warm stove. Here you see a young girl making the snowman with her doggies. It's snowing and a shining star is darting in the sky. It's cold but that doesn't bother her and she is wholeheartedly putting the finishing touches on the life-size snowman. <br />
Attentively her dogs are watching.<br />
<br />
Just made for fun and because I am still a child.

  • What a discovery! Two deer discover something very special in the forest.... A white man made out of snow with a red hat on top; What is that? they clearly wonder.<br />
Well you can have that around Christmas time.

  • Everyone dreams of a beautiful white Christmas. After all, Christmas is the time that symbolizes peace in the world and strange but true, many associate this with virgin white snow. Snow transforms a forest into something magical in a short time and especially if you let the inhabitants, like this little deer, have their way.

  • I made this piece with my rather childish feeling about Christmas. Christmas to me is peace on earth where people don't make war. If only this were true! <br />
No, we should take an example from the animals and especially if you have the imagination to imagine what is going on in the forest that gets something magical because of the snow. <br />
Then you see a squirrel and a deer collecting baubles to decorate the Christmas tree.<br />
<br />
I know, I know I still have a child's soul.

  • Christmas can do wonders! What could be more peaceful to think what Christmas mouse does to everyone. Imagine if the animals too would celebrate Christmas in the forest. Imagine a little deer nervously watching a squirrel collect the baubles that two hares bring to him. Imagine a Christmas tree being decorated in the forest by these animals.<br />
<br />
Imagine if we were to do this with other people as different as these animals are among themselves.<br />
<br />
Imagine if Christmas brought real peace.... Just imagine

  • Christmas is the fun time when you make a snowman with your kids. Making a snowman does take some time and at the end you have cold hands so you go warm yourself at the stove. When you are gone it is the time for your dogs to go and inspect your masterpiece. <br />
This scene is common at my house. Christmas equals decorating trees and making snowmen which are then expertly torn down by my dogs.... the devils

  • Christmas is the time of year to get together with your family. This is what this family snowman has thought too. All four snowmen are neatly dressed and are smiling broadly at the camera.<br />
<br />
I created this piece to get into the Christmas spirit a bit. I pictured the snowmen standing in front of a tree covered with snow and it is clearly evening.... Christmas Eve because a star is shining in the sky.
