About this work

This painting shows a tall, pale tree with a thick trunk standing near a low wall. Behind it, a building with warm brown and peach walls peeks through the branches. The sky is a soft blue, and the brushstrokes are loose, almost blurry, with lots of color mixing together. The tree’s trunk is painted in thick, textured strokes, making it look almost three-dimensional. The light hits one side, leaving the other in shadow. This painting uses impasto, a technique where paint is laid on thickly.
