About this work

This painting shows a rocky cliff by the sea, with a grassy slope in the front. A lone tree stands near a small red-orange boulder, and the sky above is pale blue with a few wispy clouds. The colors are soft and blended, making everything look a little fuzzy from far away. The brushstrokes are tiny and dotted, almost like tiny grains of color. It’s hard to see sharp edges—everything feels gentle and smooth. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint in their work.
