About this work

This painting shows a simple house with a slanted roof and a small window. Bright yellow walls contrast with red flowers climbing up the side. The background is a mix of dark browns and blues, with a few scattered leaves and branches. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the scene a rough, textured look. It feels like the artist worked quickly, capturing light and color in bold patches. This technique is called impasto.
