About this work
Snow blankets the ground of a narrow courtyard flanked by two apartment buildings, one pale yellow, one weathered brick. Several cars sit parked along both sides, dusted with snow, while a street lamp on the left casts a cool white glow. Overhead, the gap between the rooftops opens onto a black sky where a single bright star hangs above the distant orange glow of the city.
The palette is built from cold blue-greens and ochres, with warm window light breaking the chill of the snow and shadow. Loose, confident brushwork renders the crusted snow and worn facades, while the pinprick of the star adds a quiet, contemplative note to the still, sleeping courtyard.
