About this work
The colors are mostly earthy—greens, browns, and yellows—blended in thick, uneven strokes.
This painting looks like a rough, textured landscape. The colors are mostly earthy—greens, browns, and yellows—blended in thick, uneven strokes. The brushwork is loose, with some areas looking almost scratched or scratched out. A signature and date, "N. Vermont 1901," are scrawled in the corner, but the rest is hard to make out.
The style feels hurried, like the artist worked quickly outside. The signature hints this might be by someone named Vermont, but the painting itself doesn’t show clear details like roads or buildings—just blurred shapes and colors.
If you like this loose, textured style, look up impasto.
