About this work

This painting shows a wooded area with tall, thin trees and bright green leaves. In the background, there’s a small house with a red roof and a few people walking or standing near it. The colors are mostly greens and blues, with a fence running across the bottom of the scene. 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 see the strokes. Next, check out *impasto* to see how other artists used this technique.
