About this work

This painting shows a sunlit forest floor with tall, thin trees. The trunks are dark brown, standing close together, while the leaves above glow green and yellow. The ground is a mix of earthy browns and golds, with patches of sunlight breaking through. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a lively feel. The light shifts across the trees, making some areas brighter than others. If you like this style, look up *impasto* next.
