About this work

This painting shows a flat, wet landscape with tall grass and small pools of water. Skinny trees with bare branches stick up here and there. In the distance, dark green forests meet low, hazy mountains under a pale blue sky with a few clouds. The artist used soft brushstrokes to make the grass look thick and the water look still. The colors are mostly muted greens and browns, with a cool blue far back. Look up Wasastjerna, Torsten next to see more of his quiet, detailed landscapes.
