First Snow by Neva Coffey

Coffey's painting is very busy and has a lot of movement going on within it: sweeping, shoveling, sledding, throwing snowballs, and simply talking. Thirty-one distinct individuals, each in motion, give the scene great vitality despite a “Store to Let” sign acknowledging the Great Depression. Another sign advertises “Sobol Bros” and their SOCONY gas station. The painting features many bright colors, particularly reds and greens, which can be seen both on the buildings and on the clothing that people are wearing.
