This painting shows a snowy village with bright, simple houses. The main building is yellow with green trim and a red roof dusted in snow. A small evergreen tree stands in front, and a few other houses peek out behind it. The sky is pale blue, and the ground is covered in white snow. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured look. The colors are bold but not detailed, focusing on the overall feel of the winter landscape. Look up impasto to see how this thick paint technique works.
