This painting shows a rough, brushy scene of a forest. The trees are tall and lumpy, with thick green and brown strokes. The sky is a pale blue, and the ground looks like yellowish grass. A dark shape on the left might be a cow or horse. The paint is thick and textured, almost like it was slapped on quickly. The colors are bold but not precise—just blocks of green, yellow, and blue. If you like this loose, expressive style, check out impasto.
