About this work

This painting shows a simple winter scene. A bare tree stands on the left, its branches twisted against a pale sky. In the middle, a wooden fence runs along the ground, its slats uneven and weathered. Two birds—one brown and white, one mostly white—stand near the fence, looking down at something on the ground. The paint looks thick in spots, especially on the fence and the birds, giving it a rough, textured feel. The colors are muted, with blues and grays dominating the scene. If you like this style, check out the technique: impasto.
