Winter

Winter and Christmas,

This painting depicts a snowy landscape. The horizon is in the center of the painting, showing a cream and light gray sky meeting rolling white and light blue hills. Small, snow-covered buildings in shades of pale red and yellow and what may be a church tower are visible at the base of the hills, next to thin, leafless gray trees. The color palette includes white, blues, and earth tones. Closer to us, near the center of the painting, a person in a brown coat and hat carries a bundle of sticks through the snow. Around them are a line of deep footprints. They are facing the left, towards more tall gray trees and a wooden fence.
