Outdoor study

About this work

This painting shows a rough, sketchy scene of a landscape. A few trees with bare branches cut across the top left corner. Below them, a patch of grassy hills turns yellow and brown. In the center, a small body of water reflects the sky. The colors are muted—greens, grays, and earthy tones—with quick, uneven brushstrokes. The painting feels unfinished, like a quick note from an artist testing ideas. The loose style makes it look more like a study than a polished work.
