About this work
A thick, twisted birch trunk dominates the foreground, its bare branches tinged pink against a pale sky, with a small birdhouse nailed partway up the trunk. Behind it, a snow-laden wooden house with a fenced yard and dry grasses sits under a blanket of fresh snow.
Loose, textured strokes capture the birch bark's rough, mottled surface in greys, browns and touches of violet, while the snow is built up in thick white impasto. The cool, crisp palette and quiet framing give the scene a still, wintry hush.
