Dog Walking, Winter Twilight - Scott Prior , 2023.

American, b. 1949 -

And the round squirrels’ nest In the bare oak

Are equal planets.”

The 1970s "Blue Period." Nothing captures the festive spirit quite like the crushing realization that your heating bill for a drafty Victorian mansion is about to exceed your annual salary. Here we see two tiny couriers making a break for it with the last of the holiday rations, while Dad stands on the porch in a tan parka, wondering if he actually turned the stove off or if the house is just naturally that "glowy." It’s a classic scene: frozen toes, questionable fashion choices in synthetic nylon, and the looming presence of ominous pine trees that definitely aren't plotting anything.
