This painting by Swedish American artist Magnus Engstrom celebrates the season of snow with this colorful depiction of a skier enjoying the slopes. The figure almost blends in with the background, twisted in a dynamic pose to characterize this fast paced and exhilarating activity. Just because it is cold out doesn’t mean that outdoor fun isn’t an option so grab your gear and take part in this centuries old sport before the snow is gone.
