About this work

This painting shows a hilly landscape with a small house on a slope. The house has a red roof and sits near trees and bushes. In the foreground, two people walk along a dirt path, one wearing a light-colored dress. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured look. The painting’s loose, expressive style makes the scene feel alive. The colors are earthy—greens, browns, and blues—with a hint of gray in the sky. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
