Sleet Storm (After the Ice Storm) 1920

"Sleet Storm (After the Ice Storm)" is a 1920 watercolor by Charles E. Burchfield. The painting depicts a snow-covered suburban scene, with a lone figure trudging through the drifts in front of a house. Burchfield's signature style, with its bold lines and simplified forms, captures the harsh beauty of a winter storm. The icy branches of the trees and the slushy snow on the ground convey the cold and slippery conditions of the storm. The scene is both realistic and evocative, reflecting Burchfield's interest in the natural world and its effects on human experience. The work is a testament to the power and beauty of winter.
