About this work

This painting shows a close-up of dry grass and wild plants. The colors are mostly browns and greens, with some yellow specks scattered in. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, making the plants look almost three-dimensional. The artist used a technique where paint is built up heavily to create texture. This gives the scene a rough, tactile feel, like touching real dried grass. Look up impasto to learn more about this painting technique.
