In the winter of 1915-16, Schuhmacher stayed in Hillegersberg. There he met Herman Bieling. They went out together. 'we climbed over fences... in the winter, in the snow, and sat there with clogs-with-straw-in them and with warm milk, and worked until we passed out.' The skies in these snow scenes that Schuhmacher made during this time are usually made up of short strokes, sometimes fanning out.
