About this work

This painting shows a simple house with a sloped roof and a small balcony. The walls are painted white, and the roof is dark brown. In front of the house, there’s a covered area with a red door. The sky is a soft blue, and the trees in the background are green but loosely painted. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. This style is called *impasto*, where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the strokes. If you like this style, look up technique: impasto.
