Old Olive Trees, Bordighera

About this work

This painting shows a quiet beach scene with three twisted olive trees in the foreground. Their gnarled branches stretch out over a rocky shore, while the background fades into a calm blue sea and distant hills. The colors are soft—dry earth tones, deep greens, and a pale sky. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to capture light and shadow, giving the scene a fresh, natural feel. The trees’ rough texture stands out against the smooth water and sky.
