Landscape: Galatsi

About this work

This painting shows a quiet hillside with five tall, dark trees standing in a row. Behind them, a few simple buildings sit against a pale blue sky. The ground is a mix of brown and green brushstrokes, and the light looks soft, like late afternoon. The trees are the main focus—they’re thick and dark, almost like silhouettes against the sky. The buildings in the background are small and plain, blending into the landscape. If you like this style, check out impasto next—it’s a technique where paint is laid on thickly.
