Tall Grass

More about Tall Grass

A thick impasto oil painting depicts a rural landscape with rolling hills covered in tall grass, leading up to a village of houses in the distance under a streaky, textured sky. The foreground is dominated by heavily textured, thick strokes of paint forming long blades of grass in varying shades of green, brown, and light cream, creating a sense of movement in the wind. The grass extends across rolling hills, receding into the midground where several small, traditional-style houses with visible windows and roofs are nestled among trees and shrubs. The houses are rendered with more traditional brushstrokes, contrasting with the heavily impastoed foreground. In the background, more houses are visible on distant hills under a vast, streaky sky, painted with thick, sweeping horizontal and diagonal impasto strokes in shades of yellow, gold, light blue, and white, suggesting clouds or wind patterns. The overall composition creates a sense of depth and movement, with the detailed foreground leading the eye to the more subdued background. The artist’s signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
