Description
A snow-covered valley opens beneath a range of pale blue mountains, with a ski slope and lift line cutting down the distant hillside toward small clustered buildings. In the foreground, figures in traditional conical straw hats carry skis and poles across the snow, accompanied by a laden pack horse, while a dark pine and a bare tree with pale green buds frame the scene at right. The palette is dominated by soft blues, cream, and grey, with a deep indigo band across the top of the sky; this is "February," a 2013 painting by Keisuke Yamaguchi (OZ).
