About this work

This painting shows a blurry, patchy landscape with soft colors. The top half is mostly green and yellow, like a hillside or forest, while the bottom half has browns and blues—maybe water or shadows. The paint looks thick in some spots, almost like it was slapped on quickly. The brushstrokes are loose and uneven, giving it a rough, unfinished feel. It’s not a detailed scene but more like a mood or memory of a place. If you like this style, look up impasto.
