A serene winter landscape by American painter Charles Vickery (1913-1998), known for his atmospheric renderings of the American countryside. This offset lithograph on heavy paper stock captures a snow-laden creek scene, bare hardwoods and snow-weighted evergreens framing a softly glowing middle distance where warm amber light reflects off still water. Vickery's loose, painterly brushwork translates well to print, giving the composition an immediacy that distinguishes his work from more decorative landscape subjects.
