Ciulinii Mangaliei

About this work

This painting shows a dark blue night sky filled with bright yellow and orange butterflies. Below, a field of tall grass sways in the wind, with a few trees and bushes scattered around. Two small figures sit in the foreground, hidden under what look like tree stumps or hollows, with faint yellow lights glowing inside. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, making the scene feel almost alive. The butterflies stand out sharply against the deep blue, while the grass and trees are painted in quick, rough strokes. Try looking up *impasto* to see how this thick paint technique works.
