This winter road painting by Raymond Kincaid follows a snowy country road straight up and over a gentle rise. Packed tire tracks run down the middle, low drifts curl along both shoulders, and a line of telephone poles shrinks toward the hilltop while the wires sag between them. Dry grass pokes through the snow beside a thin wire fence.
Raymond built the whole scene with a palette knife, laying the paint on thick so every ridge of snow catches the light. The sky reads like a winter sunset painting, with slabs of peach, coral and lavender sliding across a cool blue-gray. Down in the road, cream, slate and bits of amber sit side by side like frozen ruts you could almost feel underfoot.
It's for anyone who grew up on back roads, who has driven home through open country at dusk, or who simply likes winter scene wall art that feels quiet rather than cold. Fans of snowy field painting and textured impasto will find plenty to look at up close.
As canvas wall art, it suits a farmhouse entry, a long hallway, or a den with warm wood and wool throws. The strong vertical pull of the road also works well above a narrow console or beside a window, and it pairs easily with other winter art prints in a seasonal grouping.
