Buttercups is a 1916 watercolor by James Brown, a American Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quick, loose sketch of a countryside scene. Tall trees stand on a grassy hillside, their branches reaching across a bright yellow field. In the distance, a small building sits near a road, with a few scattered bushes and trees around it. The artist used fast, sketchy lines and bright colors to capture the scene. The painting feels like a quick note of what they saw, not a detailed picture. Next, look up James Brown to see more of his work.
