About this work

This painting shows a village at dusk with thick, textured brushstrokes. The colors are mostly blues, yellows, and browns, blending roughly together. Trees and buildings are simplified into blocks of color, with no clear details. The paint looks slathered on thickly, almost like it was applied with a knife. This makes the scene feel alive and messy, not smooth. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
