About this work

This painting shows a close-up of trees with autumn leaves. The colors are mostly yellow, brown, and green, with some purple spots. The branches twist in different directions, and the leaves are scattered on the ground. The brushstrokes look thick, almost like the paint was applied in heavy layers. This makes the texture of the leaves and branches stand out. Look into *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint like this.
