About this work

This painting shows a red building by a river, with a large wooden water wheel in the foreground. Tall, bare trees frame the scene, and the ground looks damp. The brushstrokes are loose, with some areas blending into soft colors and others staying thick and textured. The water wheel suggests this might be an old working mill, though the exact spot isn’t clear. The red building stands out against the greens and browns, giving the whole scene a warm, earthy feel. If you like this style, check out impasto for more on thick brushwork like this.
