About this work

This painting shows a quiet park in winter. Snow covers the ground and benches. Leafless trees line a path, their bare branches twisting against a pale sky. In the distance, a faint building and a few people are barely visible through the cold air. The brushstrokes are thick, almost like you could feel the texture of the snow. The artist used dark shadows to make the trees stand out against the light. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint like this works.
