Tracks Through the Windbreak: A row of windbreak trees — tall, narrow evergreens planted with perfect symmetry — stands like a living corridor in an otherwise open, snow-blanketed field. Between them, a set of narrow tracks from snowshoes marks a straight line into the white. The snow here is deeper, mounding between trunks, muffling sound. High above, snow continues to fall in hushed spirals, backlit by the unseen sun behind thick clouds. At the far end of the corridor, barely discernible, is a red mitten snagged on a low branch. Maxfield Parrish uses the snowfall and diffused light to blur the boundaries of the visible, casting the scene in pearly wonder. Andrew Wyeth breathes narrative into the forgotten mitten, the individual tree trunks, and the imprinted snow with meticulous care. Albert Bierstadt adds a noble structure to the rows of trees and the sweeping field beyond — rendering geometry as serenity.
A serene corridor of tall evergreens stands in a snowy field, with snowshoe tracks leading through. Snow falls gently, illuminating a forgotten red mitten, creating a tranquil, picturesque scene.
