About this work

This painting shows a rough, textured scene of buildings on a hillside. The colors are mostly earthy—browns, grays, and muted reds—with some white and dark patches. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving it a messy, almost sketchy look. The buildings look old and weathered, with some windows and rooftops barely visible. The background has a faint blue sky, but the focus is on the uneven terrain and the way the paint sits heavily on the canvas. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost see the strokes.
