About this work

The painting shows a snowstorm in Vermont. It's a quiet scene with trees and hills covered in snow. The artist likely painted this to show the beauty of a winter landscape, and it's interesting that she chose a simple scene to convey this. The painting has a calm feel to it, which is nice. The snow and trees are the main focus, and they're painted in a way that makes you feel like you're there. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
