The paintings are the best part, those really do capture the feel of the
theater of operations the vehicle is shown in.
This is exactly how winter in a grassland/farmland in North Dakota
looks: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/rs_wells/Paintings/Painting20.htm
Everything is right: sky color, the way the snow lays on the clumps of
grass, and the way it sticks to the Kettenrad's tracks and roadwheels.
And I'm guessing the vehicle is somewhere in western Russia or the
Ukraine, and the temperature is right around 35 F. So it's either fairly
early in winter or getting near spring. More likely  right after a the
first major snowstorm of winter.
When you can tell that much from a painting, the artist is doing
top-notch work.
