This painting shows three tall trees in a field. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the colors pop—greens, yellows, and blues. The sky is pale, and the grass looks dry. In the distance, two small figures stand near the trees. The artist used big, visible strokes to build up the paint. This makes the scene feel alive and textured. Look up impasto to see how this technique works.
