About this work

This painting shows a quick, loose sketch of a tree with bright blue-green leaves and a few yellow flowers on the ground. The branches twist sharply, and the background has a fence and a pale sky. The colors are soft but stand out in spots—like the yellow near the bottom. The artist used watercolors, letting the paint stay wet to blend colors smoothly. The tree looks almost alive, with rough strokes for the bark and quick dabs for the leaves. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
