About this work

This painting shows a snowy cityscape with bare trees in the foreground. The buildings in the background look old and worn, with some snow on their roofs. The colors are mostly muted browns, whites, and grays, giving it a cold, wintery feel. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, almost like the artist scraped paint in some spots. It feels rough and raw, not smooth. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.
