About this work

This painting shows a cluster of old buildings with sloped roofs, stacked unevenly on a hill. The walls are warm browns and oranges, fading into yellows and greens at the base. Leafless trees stand in the foreground, their bare branches tangled against a soft blue sky with a few clouds. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the walls a rough, almost hand-built look. The colors feel warm, like sunlight hitting aged stone. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint layers create this tactile effect.
