About this work

A person lies on their side in a grassy field, wrapped in a light blanket. Their head rests on their arm, and they’re facing away from us. Around them, wildflowers—white daisies and purple blossoms—dot the green grass. In the background, two dark trees stand under a bright sky with fluffy white clouds and patches of blue. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, almost like the paint was scraped on. This makes the scene feel lively, even though the person is still. The colors are soft but bold—greens, blues, and earthy tones stand out. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
