This painting is so beautiful! And yet, what it depicts is the never ending onslaught of nature against a farm whose dwellers can do little to fight it save, perhaps, drink vodka on a daily basis...

Two precious vertical master works with the impersonal forest trees as their main characters.

I find it difficult to think of a more beautiful landscape than this one painted by Alexei Savrasov. And yet, with all its beauty, there is a sad melancholy about it.

In the matter of beauty, here is another example of a vertical painting of a forest the likes of which would be hard to find.

Miguel,

These are so very beautiful.

His mastery of the reproduction of the dead trees or dead branches is evident.

It is so much easier to reproduce trees in leaf and his winter landscapes are wonderful.

With all of the variations in height in Peru have you had much experience of snow first hand Miguel.

Roger
