Peter Shostak’s "This is Not a Busy Road," painted in 1991, presents a charming winter scene with a playful twist. Measuring 12 x 16 inches and executed in oil on canvas, this work is signed in the bottom right corner.
The painting depicts a quiet, snow-covered road lined with bare trees and modest houses, evoking a serene, wintry atmosphere. In the middle of the road, which has been transformed into an ice rink, a group of people are engaged in a lively game of hockey. The contrast between the peaceful surroundings and the dynamic activity of the hockey game adds a whimsical touch to the scene.
Shostak’s careful attention to detail captures the texture of the snow and ice, as well as the warmth of the community activity against the cold backdrop. "This is Not a Busy Road" reflects Shostak’s ability to blend the tranquility of a winter landscape with the vibrant energy of a simple, yet joyful, community moment.
