This painting depicts a serene winter landscape featuring a rural farmhouse surrounded by snow-covered fields. A leafless tree stands prominently in the foreground, with a red swing hanging from one of its branches. The farmhouse, set among evergreen trees, appears weathered, with a sloping roof and a chimney. The background consists of an expansive sky with soft blue and white tones, suggesting a cold yet calm atmosphere. The artist’s signature, “Taylor –85–,” is inscribed in the lower right corner.
The composition is balanced, with the farmhouse and tree serving as focal points. The detailed rendering of the snow-covered ground includes patches of exposed earth and dried grass, contributing to the seasonal atmosphere. The subtle use of perspective creates depth, leading the eye toward the distant tree line. The painting is executed in a soft, naturalistic style, emphasizing muted tones and delicate brushwork.
This watercolor painting is framed in a wooden frame with a beige mat and an inner accent border. The frame complements the subdued tones of the artwork, while the glass covering ensures preservation. The date “1985” inscribed alongside the artist’s signature provides a clear reference to the time of creation.
