Kris Knight is a Canadian artist from Toronto whose work is filled with the winter spirit that the snowy country is widely known for. In this series entitled 'Farewell Log Cabin,' Kris Knight takes the viewer through the experience of a [cabin during snow season](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mt-harriets) that most Torontonians are familiar with.

Somewhere in between the pink-nosed subjects, pale skin and blue-toned snow, I myself as a Torontonian became nostalgic for my days of silly [snowed-in fun](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-stays-club). Kris Knight manages to make his pieces slightly macabre as well, giving a nod to the [serene stillness of a snowy countryside](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bora-boral).
