About this work

This painting shows a quiet lake under a pale, cloudy sky. The water is still, reflecting the soft greens and blues around it. On the right, a few trees stand alone, their dark shapes cutting into the light. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, almost like the paint was scraped on. This gives the scene a rough, lived-in feel. Look up *impasto* next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
