About this work
Seen from above, a dense huddle of old wooden houses and sheds fills the frame, roofs of corrugated tin pitched at odd angles. Between them run muddy, snow-patched lanes; a small red car is parked in one yard, a dog trots near a porch, and a lone figure walks along a path in the upper left.
Painted in pastel with a subdued palette of browns, rust and weathered grey, relieved by patches of leftover snow, the composition builds texture through short, choppy strokes suggesting worn wood and rusted metal. The high, compressed viewpoint flattens the rooftops into an interlocking pattern, giving the scene a humble, timeworn density.
