Artist, American, born 1937

The image shows a landscape with a road in the foreground lined with snow-covered ground and bare trees. A utility wire runs horizontally across the scene, attached to a slanted wooden pole. Beyond the road is frozen or partially frozen water, possibly a river, reflecting light. Sparse, leafless trees extend towards the horizon, leading to distant flat fields under a clear sky. The monochromatic color palette emphasizes the contrasts between the trees and the ice surface, creating a timeless and serene atmosphere.
