About this work

This painting shows a bunch of mountains in different colors. There are green, purple, and white mountains all jumbled up. Some are pointy, and some are round. The mountains are all different sizes and shapes. The mountains are painted in big blocks of color. You can see the brushstrokes where the artist painted. The colors are pretty bright and fun. It's like looking at a big, colorful puzzle. If you like this painting, you might also like looking at the work of Franz Marc.
