About this work

This painting shows a flat, quiet river winding through a wide, open field. The land is mostly brown and green, with a few patches of yellow near the water. In the distance, there are low, rolling hills that fade into a pale sky with a few scattered clouds. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a rough, textured look. The colors are muted, but the light hits the river and hills in a soft way. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
