*No cloud above, no earth below,— A universe of sky and snow!”*

Yesterday’s post with the wonderful Hiroshige landscape got me thinking about my love of landscape paintings that include snow. I have always loved them. I don’t know why.
I have one in my kitchen which I love.
I bought it on eBay and had it framed. It is a watercolor, painted by a talented amateur. Every day it makes me happy.
Here are a few examples of my favorite landscapes in snow:
Japanese, “Scouting Party near Niuzhuang on a Snowy Night” 1894
Winslow Homer, “Fox Hunt” 1893
Winslow Homer, “Sleigh Ride”
Hiroshige, Bridge in Snow
Childe Hassam, “Melting Snow”
Childe Hassam, “Heckscher Tower”
Frederic Remington, “The Scout–Friends or Foes”
Andrew Wyeth, Winter Landscape
Eric Sloane
Maxfield Parrish may be too popular to be “art”, but these are among my absolute favorites:
Maxfield Parrish, “Christmas Morning 1949”
Maxfield Parrish, “White Birches in the Snow”
Aren’t they all wonderful? So many pictures, so little wall space left!
Well, onward to February! And have a nice weekend! Go, Broncos!
Peyton Manning…in the snow!

Oh, lovely snow. It’s perfect except when it effects my commute. Here’s another grand example of Americans commuting to work in the snow/ice:
AND GO PEYTON!!!
Oh, yes, that’s a good one! 🙂
Beautiful pictures and an appropriate reminder of how wonderful it is to be alive!
Tout va bien!
I, too, love snowy landscapes! Here are two I saw at the Phillips Collection that I loved:

I hadn’t heard of Augustus Tack before, but I like him!
Yes, wonderful! I am unacquainted with Augustus Tack as well. We learn something new every day!
I just have to say again — what gorgeous pictures and how perfectly they all go together. I just love looking at this post!
Love your paintings and pics but so many of them made me start to shiver! Need a few seashore and palm tree scenes to warm up.
John Singer Sargent and Winslow Homer did paint some nice beach scenes, but the snowy ones still get my vote!
