We must have snow and lots of it. Never is nature more lovely than when it is snowing. Everything is so quiet and the whole earth seems wrapped in a mantle… All nature is hushed to silence. -Letter from Twachtman to J. Alden Weir, 1891 "Connecticut Shore, Winter" differs from Twachtman’s other winter scenes, which usually depict the artist’s Greenwich farmhouse swathed in delicately tinted snow. The black and brown of the boats and dock contrast sharply with the snow and ice clogging the water, underscoring winter’s bitter temperatures. This painting may depict the harbor at Bridgeport, where Twachtman first worked in 1888.
