Sunday

A row of leafless trees, one large trunk dominating the foreground, stands over a park path scattered with dirty snow and bare brown earth. Along the wet asphalt path and among the trees, several small figures walk, while a golden onion dome and white building appear in the hazy distance.

Painted in muted browns, greys and dull ochres with touches of white for the remaining snow, the work captures the flat, damp light of a thaw. Broad, textured strokes build up the tangle of bare branches and wet ground, giving the park a quiet, subdued, late-winter mood.
