Study of Trees

About this work

This painting shows a quiet park scene with three big trees standing close together. Their trunks are rough and dark, while the branches spread out above in a tangle. The ground is covered in dry grass and patches of dirt, with a narrow path winding between the trees. The colors are mostly soft greens and browns, with some lighter spots where sunlight might hit. The artist focused on how the trees’ roots and bark look up close, almost like they’re alive. The painting feels like a sketch made outside, with quick, loose brushstrokes.
