About this work

This painting shows a dark forest path covered in snow. Tall, bare trees lean in, their branches tangled together. The ground is rough and uneven, with patches of brown and gray peeking through the white snow. The artist used thick brushstrokes to make the scene feel rough and textured, like you could almost reach in and touch the bark or the snow. The colors are mostly muted, but the trees stand out with their dark lines against the lighter background. If you like this style, look up impasto.
