About this work

This painting shows bare trees with twisted branches in the foreground. Behind them, a small building with a red roof peeks through, half-hidden by the trunks. The ground looks dry, and a simple fence runs along the bottom edge. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the trees a textured, almost gnarled look. The colors are muted—earthy browns, dull greens, and a faded sky. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
