About this work

This painting shows a rough, textured landscape with two rocky outcrops in the middle. The sky above is a pale, uneven blue, while the ground below has streaks of brown, pink, and gray. Brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a messy, almost unfinished look. The artist’s signature is faintly visible in the bottom left corner. The painting feels like it was made quickly, with bold colors and rough edges. If you like this style, look up impasto.
