...exhibit's two rooms, gallery-goers noted that Etcher Young skilfully shows his snow in three varieties: 1) wet, soft and falling; 2) powdery, windblown; 3) frozen. Like all good etchers Artist Young was able to make pleasing esthetic capital of his bare, black trees, winterset in the tranquil snowscapes.
