About this work

This painting shows a quiet park scene with three tall trees framing a path. The ground is damp, reflecting light in patches, and a bench sits empty under the trees. In the distance, a building with columns peeks through the leaves, and the grass is a mix of green and brown. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting texture—especially on the trunks and leaves. It feels like the artist rushed to capture the light and shadows before they changed. Look up impasto to see how this thick paint technique works.
