The contrast of warm colors with the chilling effect of the snow is effective and pleasing asethetically. I would enjoy to see another similar picture with the building further in the distance, however the shrouding of the trees does provide a mysterious effect. Distance would add more mystery and perhaps make the image more cryptic as far as meaning. Overall this is nicely done and I applaud your use of chiaroscuro. Even though I am less educated on matters of Asian art that I would like this inspires me to visit this place and learn more about the culture. I see a hint of perhaps religious meaning and I would be interested to know what the artist sees in a religious/philosophical interpretation. I see a beakon of warmth in the wilderness rather than one that is hidden in the distance. The message I get is to let the warmth of your inner light shine to warm the rest of the world. Thank you, I enjoy this very much. =]
