Myrkrhvíla – Original artwork

“Myrkr” meaning darkness, and “hvíla” meaning rest or slumber.
A word for the silent pause between seasons, when autumn has fallen into stillness, the leaves have let go, and the earth lies resting in darkness, quietly waiting for winter’s first snow.
It is the hush before the frost. The sleep of the forest.
A breath held by nature.
A time not quite autumn, not yet winter.
Only Myrkrhvíla.

An original painting by Jonna Jinton. Painted in autumn of 2024.
Watercolor and natural pigments/sand on linen canvas.
The earth pigments gives the painting a very distinct and raw structure, in contrast to the soft look of the watercolor.

Size: 100 x 120 cm (39.4″ x 47.2″)

The painting is framed in a black wooden frame made of Swedish pine tree.

It’s also varnished and UV protected. Signed by me in the front.
This painting is part of our ongoing exhibition at our gallery in Sollefteå, Sweden, and will be shipped directly to its new owner when the exhibition ends at the end of October 2025.
