I'm looking for a specific piece

I don't know if it's a print, lithograph or oil painting. I hope what I'm looking for is a reproduction.


It's a close up of a large white house, I believe the house is colonial. It's snowing in daylight hours in this piece and it has blurred children (from the snow) in the front of the house. That's it. No sledding, no ice skating, no barns, no trees, no animals.


It's okay if no one knows, thought I would attempt to try to find this piece.


Thank you.

I only viewed it once about a week or two at a yard sale. It was priced at $50, not that I would have paid that but I didn't have any cash on me.

Now I could kick myself for not taking a photo of it on my phone, perhaps I could have found a smaller version with a less expensive price.

Every time I look for it I generally get winter landscapes of the White House!

For all I know it could be an original and/or from a Buffalo artist.

I could leave a note with my phone number on the front door of this house inquiring if they still have this piece. I've thought about it.

I had my phone on me. I could have taken a photo of it! Ughh!

So I removed the term "White House" form the search, and just changed it to "house". No luck. Eventually, I was down to "blurred children winter scene", then "children winter scene" and then gave up at "winter scene".

Whew!

I think I'll write a note with my number and leave it on the front door.

If it's already had been sold they could probably tell me the name of the piece and the artist at least.
