About this work

This painting shows a row of leafy trees with thick, dark green foliage. The trunks are short and blend into the brushy shapes around them. The ground is a soft yellowish-brown, with a few patches of lighter color near the base of the trees. The sky is pale and barely there, just a few faint strokes. The trees look almost like clumps of bushes, not quite realistic. The paint is applied in loose, wavy strokes, giving it a rough, sketchy feel. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
