N.B. Charles Burchfield painted this wintry view of his neighbor's house early in his career. Looking down from an upstairs window in his family home in Salem, Ohio, he captured the low-slung cottage home of his childhood friends, the Weaver family, in the midst of a blustery snowstorm. Though the weather seems bleak, the open window curtains and burgeoning plant on the windowsill suggest a pleasant and welcoming interior. Burchfield used his bold, modernist handling of watercolor and gouache to depict his hometown in each season, and made the Weavers' home the subject of numerous paintings. He explored the natural environment and seasonal change throughout his career, an interest that culminated in his late work, The Four Seasons (1949-60, Krannert Art Museum), which unites all of the seasons into one composition.
