About this work

This painting shows a simple building with a tall, narrow tower rising behind it. The walls are a plain brown, and the tower looks like brick. Trees and bushes surround the building, painted in thick green and brown brushstrokes. In front, there’s a small, dark body of water with a wooden dock extending into it. The brushwork is loose and textured, almost like the paint was applied in chunks. The colors feel earthy, with no bright highlights. If you like this style, look up impasto.
