George Wesley Bellows -Love of Winter- Christmas Square Sticker

This vintage art from George Wesley Bellows reflects the artist's love of winter and cold-weather activities.

The bright reds, yellows, and greens intensify the winter scene with brushstrokes that convey movement and speed. The diverse skaters are from various walks of life as they enjoy a lovely winter's day. George Wesley Bellows was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City. He painted during the late 1800s and early 1900s. .
