After a summer of painting in southern France with Robert Henri, Redfield's main interest began to shift from portraiture to landscape. This emphasis developed and culminated in Redfield's mature style shortly after he moved to Center Bridge, Pennsylvania, in 1900. There he worked out his personal approach to impressionism, which was to make him one of the most successful painters in America. By shaping blobs of paint into tactile masses which form the dried grasses, haystack, slushy snow, trees, buildings, and sky, Redfield recorded his vision of Center Bridge in winter.
