This painting shows a snowy yard with a few people walking around. A horse pulls a cart near some small buildings, and a dog runs in the snow. Cranes and wooden planks are scattered in the background, with bare trees and a pale sky. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a soft, fuzzy look—like the snow is still falling. The colors are mostly muted blues, grays, and whites, with a few pops of darker clothing. Look up *impasto* next to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
