Trees
1929

A vibrant watercolor painting depicting a pastoral scene with lush trees in various shades of green, yellow, and brown. The trees have thick, twisted trunks and are dotted with light, suggesting sunlight filtering through the leaves. In the background, there's a hint of a mountain or large hill, and nestled among the trees are small buildings with red roofs, possibly farmhouses. In the foreground, a solitary figure appears to be walking or standing among the trees. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, conveying a sense of movement and the fleeting quality of light.
