This painting shows a row of small houses with sloped roofs, nestled among leafless trees. The trees have thin, dark branches, and the ground is a mix of yellow and brown patches. In the background, faint hills and a few buildings peek through the branches. The artist used loose, quick strokes—almost like a sketch—to capture light and shadow. The colors are soft and muted, with watery washes blending into each other. Next, look up James Brown to see how his style changed over time.
