This painting shows a simple landscape with four tall, dark trees in the foreground. Behind them, there’s a patchwork of colors—yellows, reds, and blues—that suggest rolling hills or buildings. The sky is light blue with soft, wavy strokes, and the whole scene feels loose and quick, like it was painted fast. The trees stand out because they’re dark and sharp against the brighter, blocky background. The colors don’t blend smoothly; they’re more like chunks of paint, giving it a rough, textured look. Try looking up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
