About this work

This painting shows a cluster of simple buildings with flat roofs, stacked unevenly. The colors are mostly muted—whites, grays, and soft blues—with a few darker patches for shadows. A tree branch leans in from the right, and the sky above is a pale, washed-out blue. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, giving the walls a textured look. The buildings don’t line up neatly; they feel slightly off-kilter, like they were painted from memory rather than measured. If you like this rough, blocky style, look up impasto next.
