A narrow stream among brightly coloured trees

February Snow sets the water between snow-covered banks beneath closely spaced trunks. Warm ochre branches cross turquoise and blue passages, making the shadows unusually colourful. The upright view gathers many short reflections and changes of light, giving the enclosed woodland an active surface despite the season’s quiet subject.

A broad dark pool edged by pale snow

Close of a Winter Day curves the near bank around green-blue water, with trees reflected across its surface. Warmer light appears beyond the farther edge. Compared with February Snow, the wider open water leaves fewer interruptions at the centre, making the snow’s boundary and the reflected colour especially clear.
