About this work

This painting shows a simple seaside scene. A small white house with a brown roof sits near the water, with two bare trees in front. The beach has yellow sand and a few scattered shells. In the distance, a ship floats on the blue sea, and a lighthouse stands on the shore. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the painting a rough, textured look. The colors are bright but not polished—like a sketch done fast. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
