About this work

This painting shows a row of bare trees standing in a snowy field. The branches twist against a dark, cloudy sky, and the ground is covered in rough, uneven snow. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, making the scene feel raw and textured. The artist used bold strokes to show the weight of the snow and the starkness of winter. The way light hits the trees makes them stand out against the shadows. Check out *impasto* to see how thick paint can change how a scene looks.
