About this work

This painting shows a weathered wooden cabin by the water. A small boat sits on the shore, tied to a post. The sky is heavy with clouds, and the water looks still and cold. Rocks in the foreground are damp, and the cabin’s walls are rough and uneven. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on the sky, giving it a textured look. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost see the strokes. Check out *impasto* to see how artists use texture like this.
