About this work

This painting shows a red-roofed farmhouse nestled among tall, dark trees. The house sits on a slight hill, with a narrow dirt path leading up to it. The sky is pale and overcast, while the grass below is patchy and green-brown. The artist used quick, rough brushstrokes—especially on the trees and sky—to give it a sketchy, unfinished feel. The house stands out as the only solid shape in the scene. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
