This painting shows two tall, narrow houses with slanted roofs, sitting side by side. One has a small window with bars, and the other has a larger one with a grid of panes. A big tree with feathery leaves grows between them, casting shadows. The colors are soft—pinks, greens, and blues—with some darker patches for shade. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes, almost like a sketch. The buildings look simple but have a lot of detail in their windows and walls. Next, look up Jones, David CBE to see more of his work.
