Winter Landscape Watercolor Painting with Farmhouse

This is an original watercolor painting depicting a serene winter landscape scene. The artwork measures approximately 10-12 inches wide by 7-9 inches tall (estimated from the provided image, without precise scale). The primary colors used are muted tones of white, brown, grey, and dark green, characteristic of a cold, overcast winter day. The composition features a white farmhouse with a dark roof covered in snow, situated on the left side of the painting, nestled among sparse dark green evergreen trees. In the foreground and mid-ground, bare deciduous trees with intricate branch structures stand against a vast, snow-covered field. A fence line is visible in the distance, partially obscured by snow. The sky is a cloudy, somber grey, suggesting a pending snowfall or a recently cleared sky after a storm. The medium is watercolor, applied with varying washes and some drier brushwork for texture in the tree branches. The paper appears to be a light beige or off-white watercolor paper, which exhibits some yellowing or discoloration consistent with age. There is a discernible signature in the lower right corner, appearing to read 'Thelma M.' or similar, indicating the artist. The overall condition shows signs of age, including potential paper foxing or discoloration, and slight waviness in the paper from the water-based medium. The craftsmanship is amateur to semi-professional, focusing on capturing the atmosphere of a winter scene with a rustic, historical feel. The style suggests a mid-20th-century American folk art or regionalist aesthetic.
