About this work

This painting shows a rocky riverbank in winter. The ground is covered in snow and ice, with a few bare trees in the background. A small wooden boat sits half-buried in the rocks near the water’s edge. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the scene feel textured and alive. The colors are mostly cool—whites, blues, and grays—but there’s a splash of warm red in the boat. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can change a painting’s mood.
