This painting shows a dirt path through a field. There are trees in the distance and wildflowers along the path. The sky is cloudy and grey. The painting is done in oil paint and has a lot of texture. It looks like the artist used a technique called impasto to make the paint thick and rough. If you like this painting, you might also like the work of Émile Lambinet.
