About this work

This painting shows a simple wooden house with a red roof. The walls are rough and pale, and a small porch has a railing with vertical slats. A flagpole stands in the yard, and bare trees lean over the scene. The sky is soft and cloudy, blending into the muted colors of the house and ground. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving the painting a rough, textured look. It feels like a quick snapshot of a quiet place. If you like this style, look up impasto.
