About this work

This painting shows a dry, rolling landscape under a pale sky. The ground is patchy with yellowish grass and rocky outcrops. In the middle, three dark, rounded hills stand out against the flat terrain. The brushstrokes are thick, making the colors look rough and textured. The artist used a lot of paint in some spots, giving the hills a bumpy, almost tactile look. This is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thick so you can almost feel it. Look up technique: impasto to see more examples of this bold brushwork.
