This painting shows a nighttime landscape with dark, looming hills under a yellow-orange sky. A herd of deer grazes in the foreground, their shapes simple but clear. The colors are bold—greens, blues, and reds—with thick brushstrokes that make the scene feel rough and alive. The artist used heavy paint in some spots, giving the hills texture and depth. It’s not a smooth finish; the strokes are visible, almost like scribbles. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.
