This painting shows a snowy winter scene with a tall pine tree covered in snow. The ground is blanketed in white, and a few smaller trees and rocks peek through. The sky is pale with soft yellow light near the horizon, like a quiet sunset. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, making the snow look rough and real. The artist focused on light and shadow to give the scene depth. Try looking up *impasto* next to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
