About this work

This painting shows a bare tree with twisted branches in the foreground. Behind it, a darker forest stretches into the distance, with a hint of a blue sky peeking through. The ground is a mix of dry grass and earthy browns, and the brushstrokes look rough and quick, almost like the artist painted it fast. The tree’s gnarled branches stand out against the softer shapes of the forest. The painting feels a little rough around the edges, like it was done outside rather than in a studio. If you like this style, look up impasto.
