About this work

This painting shows a tangled thicket of bare branches and scrubby bushes. The colors are mostly muted grays and browns, with a few patches of pale green. Light filters through the trees, making some spots brighter than others. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like the artist sketched it fast. The trees look gnarled and wild, not neat. If you like this style, look up Romanticism.
