This painting shows a rough, brushy scene of a sandy path leading to a waterfront. A building with a small porch and a blue railing sits by the water, with a dark door and a tree in a pot. The sky is dark and stormy, while the path and ground are warm yellows and browns. The paint is thick and textured, almost like it was slapped on the canvas in quick strokes. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thick so you can almost feel the brush marks. Look up technique: impasto to see more paintings that use this bold, tactile style.
