About this work

This painting shows a quiet valley with rolling hills in the distance. A winding river cuts through green fields where a few cows graze. Tall trees line the left side, and the sky above is bright with scattered clouds. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving the scene a soft, dreamy feel. The light hits the hills and clouds in a way that makes everything glow. If you like this style, look up *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint.
