Tundra

by artist Natalie Holstad

Tundra 
This pair of works captures the vast, untamed expanse of the tundra, a place where earth stretches endlessly and silence invites reflection. In this stillness, free from distraction, the viewer is drawn into a space of grounding and breath. Both paintings focus on the rich, earthy tones of the landscape, evoking its raw beauty and quiet strength. Together, they offer a meditation on solitude, resilience, and the timeless connection between land and spirit.

- Tundra I – Wide open and wild, it reflects the grounding presence of earth and the calm it inspires.

- Tundra II – Endless and expansive, it invites the viewer to breathe deeply and embrace the stillness within.
