About this work

This print shows a lone tree with twisted branches against a bright yellow sky. The bark looks rough, and the leaves are sketched in quick, uneven strokes. Below, a dark band runs across the bottom, like a shadow or a fence. The artist used thin lines and patches of color to suggest light and shape. The sky’s yellow stands out against the gray-brown tree, making it pop. Look up tree next to see how artists have painted them for centuries.
