About this work

This painting shows a rocky hillside with a small wooden tower in the background. A group of mules and goats are scattered across the scene, some resting, others moving. The colors are mostly earthy—greens, browns, and muted blues—with a few bright spots of red and gold on the animals. The tower looks old and weathered, blending into the landscape. The brushstrokes are thick in places, especially on the animals, giving them a textured look. Try looking up *impasto* to see how this technique works.
