It's getting colder: Our wintery picks from the Royal Institute of Oil Painters
As the weather turns, enjoy feeling cosy at home while you enjoy some of our favourite winter scenes from the 2025 Royal Institute of Oil Painters exhibition.
Whether winter makes you think of snowy pavements and dusky evenings, getting cosy in a mountain chalet or crunching through icy fields, these works perfectly sum up that December feeling.
David Curtis FROI RSMA, Midwinter Twilight, Mission
This piece from David Curtis reminds us of coming home from work in the early evening, ready to get in and put the television on.
Alexis Guenier, Last Sunrise on the Valley, Combloux (French Alps)
Nothing makes us think of winter like a ski trip to the Alps, and this beautiful painting almost makes it a reality.
John Sprakes RBA ROI, Winter below Housesteads
John Sprakes fun patchwork style suits these snow-covered fields perfectly, lit up in the glow of the winter moon.
Available online
All these wintery-themed works are available online now, alongside many other beautiful oil paintings. View the full collection from this year's exhibition here.
