About this work

This painting shows two people sitting in a grassy field under a tree. One wears a dark hat and a shawl, holding what looks like a white cloth. The other sits with a red blanket over her lap, facing away. The background is blurry greens and blues, like trees and sky. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the scene a lively, unfinished feel. This style makes the colors pop and the figures feel real. Check out the technique: impasto to see how thick paint can change a painting.
