About this work

This painting shows a snowy village with small, rustic houses under thick white snow. Chimneys puff smoke, and rooftops sag slightly from the weight. In the background, a church with two tall towers stands out, its golden dome glowing against the dark, swirling sky. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, almost like the snow itself. The warm yellows of the buildings contrast with the cool blues and grays of the sky and snow. Try looking up *impasto* to see how this thick paint technique works.
