Lita Judge (American, b. 1968)First Snow, n. d. Oil on canvasCanvas: 16” x 20”Frame: 22.5” x 26” Signed Lower Right: LITA JUDGEVerso: Titled and Signed: “First Snow” / by LITA JUDGE An old barn at the end of a crooked fence, a tractor parked outside its door. The golden trail behind the vehicle adds a warm glow to an otherwise cold but fresh blanket of snow. Deep, cool blues and greens of the pines create a stark contrast against the fiery autumnal colors of the tree on the right and a vivid reminder of the changing seasons. Richly colored impressionistic strokes give the painting an ethereal quality that transports the viewer to a peaceful and idyllic landscape. Provenance:Charles M.
