About this work

This painting shows a forest with thick, tall trees. The brushstrokes are rough and thick, making the trunks look uneven and textured. The colors are mostly greens and blues, with some browns mixed in, and the sky peeks through in light patches. The trees stand close together, almost crowding the edges of the canvas. The paint is applied in heavy layers, giving it a tactile, almost three-dimensional feel. Look up impasto to learn more about this painting technique.
