This evocative vintage oil painting by Ed Forestier, dating to the 1970s, captures a tranquil winter countryside rendered in a richly textured Impressionist impasto style. Executed with expressive palette knife and brushwork, the composition features a snow-covered rural landscape with a rustic cabin nestled atop a gentle hill, a winding stream edged by a low stone wall, and bare winter shrubs set against snow-dusted evergreens.

The artist’s confident use of thick impasto brings depth and movement to the scene, particularly in the sculptural handling of the snow and terrain. A cool, harmonious palette of soft whites, pale blues, muted greens, and earthy browns creates a serene winter atmosphere while preserving warmth and visual interest. Subtle variations in texture and color lend the work a strong sense of place and season, evoking the quiet stillness of rural life in winter.

Signed “Ed Forestier” in the lower right, this painting reflects a mid-century Impressionist sensibility and painterly approach often associated with American regional landscape art of the era.

The painting is presented in its original wooden frame, which shows light, age-appropriate wear consistent with its vintage character and enhances its rustic charm. The painted surface remains stable and vibrant, with no visible damage or restoration noted.
