Small House in Saint Louis

More about Small House in Saint Louis

This is a vibrant and imaginative oil painting, painted with thick impasto brushstrokes, rendering a whimsical landscape. In the foreground, an assortment of glossy, colorful spheres in shades of teal, orange, red, pink, lime green, and blue are scattered across undulating, earthy terrain. Rising behind these spheres on the left is a tall, dark blue archway, reminiscent of the Gateway Arch, extending towards the upper left sky.

The middle ground features a small, cozy-looking house with yellow walls and a blue roof, situated on a grassy small hill. Adjacent to the house, a large, fantastical tree with twisting brown branches reaches towards the sky, bearing numerous spherical fruits or ornaments in red, yellow, green, and light blue. A narrow, winding river with bright blue water flows in front of the house and tree, crossed by a small, red arched bridge leading towards the house. The river is surrounded by patches of lush green and brown ground.

Beyond the river and house, several cone-shaped spires in varying sizes and colors—red, yellow, blue, and green—are positioned on rolling hills. The sky is a dramatic and expressive blend of deep blues, lighter blues, glowing oranges, and yellows, suggesting either sunset or a gathering storm.
