John Nash is the less famous brother of the artist Paul Nash. While his older brother sought out new, exciting challenges, Nash Junior was comfortable with his East Anglian landscapes, which he mastered. 

Here, the artist gives us a field striped with snow. It’s as quintessentially English a landscape as you’ll find and there is more green than white. But the touches of snow have an element of hope – spring is coming, nature renews itself once more. It reminds us that all things pass but also that some things never change.
