About this work

This painting shows a small white building with a dark roof, sitting on a hillside. The colors are mostly earthy—browns, grays, and muted greens—with a river winding below. Brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving it a rough, textured look. The artist used bold strokes to show light and shadow, making the building stand out against the softer landscape. The painting feels quick and sketchy, like it was done outdoors. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint like this creates texture.
