About this work

This painting shows a small boat floating on a wide lake. The water is dark and choppy, with whitecaps near the shore. On the right, a tree with bright yellow and orange leaves stands out against the blue sky. In the distance, a green landmass rises, and the sky glows pink and orange near the horizon. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on the tree and water, giving the scene a rough, textured look. This style makes the painting feel lively and full of movement. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
