Snow Cups and Young Pines, 1978

The image portrays a striking landscape of sharp, jagged snow formations that resemble a field of icy peaks, with a single dark evergreen branch protruding from the center, creating a dramatic contrast against the bright, pristine white snow; the texture and shapes of the snow display a mesmerizing natural phenomenon sculpted by the elements, evoking the beauty and harshness of cold environments, while the lone branch adds a touch of solitude and resilience amidst the frozen expanse.
