About this work

This painting shows a simple house with a slanted roof and peeling walls. The paint is thick in spots, giving the building a rough, textured look. A small porch juts out on the left, and the door is a deep red. The ground is muddy and uneven, with patches of grass and a hint of a fence on the right. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like the artist dashed it off outside. The colors are muted—whites, browns, and blues—with just a few bright spots to draw your eye. If you like this style, look up impasto.
