About this work

This painting shows a snowy landscape with four people outside. Two kids in winter coats are walking toward the left, while a man on the right stands still. Another person is ice skating across the frozen ground, with a bare tree and a herd of horses in the background. The colors are mostly soft blues, whites, and browns, with some darker patches for shadows. The brushstrokes are thick in places, especially on the tree and the skater’s movement, giving it a textured look. The scene feels lively despite the cold setting. If you like this style, look up impasto.
