A Winter Sky

The print file prints up to 11.3 x 8.3 in at 300 ppi — enough for a full 6 x 9 in front cover. Wider than a 6 x 9 cover: crop about 52% of the width, or use it as a wraparound across back and spine.

In A Winter Sky , George Inness concentrated on depicting the effects of light and atmosphere. In this composition, the artist combined a vibrant, glowing sunset with a harsh, bleak landscape. Inness's color choice reinforces this contrast, as the warm pinks and yellows in the sky play off the cool blues of the frozen ground.
