Σπίτι, Αθήνα (;) is a 1938 unspecified by Engonopoulos Nikos, held at Historical & Ethnological Society of Greece.
This painting shows a bright blue two-story house with white trim. The front door is brown with a decorative metal design, and a small balcony with a black railing sits above it. A palm tree grows in a pot on the porch, and the windows are square with red frames. The sky above is painted with soft clouds and a few birds. The house looks simple but is packed with color—blue walls, orange shutters, and a yellow-tiled wall by the door. The artist used bold, flat colors instead of shadows to show depth. Next, check out impasto to see how artists build texture with thick paint.
