Landskab med palmer, Sydfrankrig

About this work

This painting looks like a rough sketch of a landscape. You see tall, thin trees with greenish tops and pale trunks, standing in a flat, light-colored area. The brushstrokes are loose and uneven, almost like scribbles. The colors are mostly soft—light greens, browns, and a pale yellowish background. The trees are the only clear shapes, but they’re not quite right. Some look more like sticks than real plants. The whole thing feels unfinished, like the artist was still figuring it out. If you like this loose, sketchy style, check out impasto next.
