About this work

This painting shows a stormy beach at night. Dead trees stick out of the sand like twisted bones. A red cloth flutters wildly from one branch, tangled in the wind. In the distance, a few small figures stand under the dark sky, barely visible. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, almost like the scene itself is unstable. The artist used a lot of dark blues and grays, making the red cloth stand out even more. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
