1894, after he finished his studies, he built himself an artist’s workroom in Freiburg i.Br. At this time he went on a lot of trips and his trusty camera followed him everywhere. Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

Öl/Lw. «Januartag». Blick auf einen Steg über einem Bach an einem Wintertag. U.r. sign. und 1908 dat. Verso sign. und bez. H. 50,
Gutachten von Dr. Stefan Kraus, Köln, dem Verfasser des Werkverzeichnisses, vom 11.10.2008 liegt vor.
«Walter Ophey gilt als Hauptvertreter der modernen Düsseldorfer Landschaftsmalerei, die er durch seine radikale Malweise reformierte. Das vorliegende Gemälde fügt sich nahtlos in eine frühe Werkreihe ein, die Anfang 1908 in den Landschaften und in den Dörfern am Niederrhein entstanden ist. Anhand der mir vorliegenden Fotografien darf der dem Alter entsprechend sehr gute Zustand des Gemäldes als authentisch bezeichnet werden. Gleiches gilt für die Signatur und die Datierung. Das im 1993 erschienenen Werksverzeichnis nicht aufgeführte Bild wird in meinen Datenbestand der Werke von Walter Ophey aufgenommen.»
