About this work

This painting shows a group of people walking in a line, their backs to us. The colors are mostly dark—greens, browns, and grays—with some lighter patches on their clothes. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, almost like you can feel the texture. The faces are blurred, and the figures look tired or weighed down. The background is a simple, flat field, keeping all the focus on the people. If you like this rough, textured style, look up impasto.
