The oil painting titled "Monthly" captures a serene, wintry landscape just past the peak of winter's embrace. The artist's use of the impasto technique, with thick and expressive strokes of oil paint, provides a tactile sense of the chill and texture of the scene. The foreground is dominated by a blanket of snow, depicted in shades of blue, gray, and white, with occasional hints of earthy colors peeking through where the snow has been disturbed or is less deep. This suggests a recent snowfall that has begun to reveal the land beneath. The strokes here are dynamic and multidirectional, conveying the uneven and crusted surface of a snow-covered field. Bare, spindly trees, their branches etched against the overcast sky, serve as the midground. The artist uses strokes of red and brown to illustrate the trees' resilience amid the cold. There is a melancholy beauty in their barrenness, a stark contrast to the subdued colors of the snow and sky. In the background, a line of cottages or farm buildings can be glimpsed, their forms simplified and almost melting into the horizon. They are rendered in muted tones that echo the chill of the landscape, and their presence adds a hint of human habitation to the natural scene. The sky is a tapestry of grays and light blues, with a pale crescent moon barely visible, suggesting that this scene captures a moment of transition from dusk to evening. The overall effect is one of quietude and contemplation, as if the landscape itself is holding its breath in the stillness of a cold winter's day. The artist's signature in the lower right corner anchors the piece with a personal touch, indicating their unique interpretation of this tranquil moment in time.
