“WINTER WAS HARD” by Benjamin Z. Walter

"This piece is of a striking tree at Seneca Lake in the Wind River Range. I completed a tiny gouache study just before it got too dark to see. This painting was from that study, my memory, and a photo." - Ben Walter *This piece won best in show in 2023 at the Mena Small Works Show, and hung in the 2023 Oil Painter's of America Exhibition (Western Regional) in SLC.
