About this work

This painting shows a grassy field with cows grazing. The sky is light blue with soft clouds, and the grass is painted in green and yellow strokes. In the distance, more cows and a few people are scattered across the landscape. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured look. This style is meant to show light and movement in nature. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
