half dome, Winter.

-

Before you is naked winter. Back of her is the leafless tree, with
splitting bark.

At the left one feels that man rests after the activities of the harvest
season, but there is an added idea in Mr. Piccirilli's words, "In
winter, the central figure is Nature resting, or rather in a state of
conception. To the right an old man is resting after having prepared the
soil for the seed; at the right a strong man is sowing."



Murals



Winter with the snow on the ground.

The fire is necessary; faggots have been gathered; the animals are
brought in for the winter food.

The time for spinning has arrived during the long winter evenings
(considering the life of today this idea is almost obsolete).

Festivity - Winter strikes the strings of the harp and gaiety is about
to glide forth.
