This sketch shows a lone tree with twisted branches standing by the water. The tree’s bark is rough and dark, while its leaves are green and slightly blurred. In the background, a calm body of water stretches out, with a faint outline of land or buildings on the horizon. The painting looks like it was done quickly, with loose brushstrokes that focus on the tree’s shape and the water’s quiet mood. The colors are simple but vivid—greens, browns, and blues stand out clearly. If you like this style, check out Eero Järnefelt.
