This painting shows a dark, tangled forest with tall, thin trees. The brushstrokes are loose and rough, mixing pale yellows, browns, and faint blues. Light barely cuts through the thick branches, leaving most of the scene shadowy. The artist signed it in the corner: *"Carol Szathmari, dark forest, Belgium."* The handwriting looks hurried, like they scribbled it quickly. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
