“During the January 2026 ice storm that glazed Mississippi in a rare, heavy coat of ice—downing lines, closing roads, and turning everything still—my son found quiet inspiration. This oil painting captures a single shed antler resting in the snow, caught against barbed wire and a steadfast tree. In the aftermath of disruption, there’s a gentle reminder of cycles continuing: nature sheds, rests, and begins again. Proud of his eye for the subtle beauty in hard times. ❄️🦌 #IceStorm2026 #MississippiWinter #OriginalArt
