About this work

This painting shows two groups of tall, thin trees against a dark red background. The trees are painted in a rough, uneven way, with some areas looking almost scratched or layered. The left side has a yellowish glow, while the right side stays deep red. The trees don’t have leaves—just bare branches, standing stiffly. The paint looks thick in spots, like it was applied with a knife or brush in quick, bold strokes. Try looking up impasto next to see how this technique works.
