This painting shows a red dirt path leading to a hillside covered in patches of green and yellow grass. A few cows and a person are walking along the path, with some logs lying to the side. The sky above is light with soft pink and blue clouds. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured look. This style is called impasto, where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost see the strokes. Look up impasto to see more paintings that use this technique.
