About this work

This painting shows a thick forest scene with a tall tree in the center. The brushstrokes are rough, making the green and yellow colors look almost textured. Light filters through the leaves, creating soft patches of white and pale green. The painting’s style isn’t tied to any known art movement, but the bold brushwork stands out. It’s not a photograph—it’s painted, with thick layers of color. If you like this style, check out the technique called *impasto*.
