Timber Yard

About this work

This painting shows a cluttered yard with wood stacked in rough piles. A wheelbarrow sits half-filled, and a few loose planks lie on the ground. The colors are mostly muted grays and browns, with a few bright spots from dried leaves and a small patch of green. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the scene a rough, unfinished look. The artist focused on everyday objects, making them feel real but slightly messy. The way light hits the wood and shadows stretch across the yard gives it a quiet, almost still feeling.
