This painting shows a bright, wavy landscape with bold colors. A winding road cuts through the scene, leading past a small house and a red-roofed building. Trees stand out with thick, purple trunks and leafy green tops, while the sky swirls with yellows and blues. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, almost like the paint was slapped on. This style makes the scene feel alive and rough at the same time. If you like this, look up impasto next.
