Edward Hopper

(Landscape: Hills and Trees)
1926

A vibrant watercolor landscape painting depicting a lush, green forested area with a backdrop of rolling hills and mountains under a blue sky with light cloud cover. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, suggesting the movement of foliage and the contours of the terrain. The foreground shows darker shades of green, indicating dense vegetation, while the middle ground transitions into lighter greens and blues, with the distant mountains rendered in soft blues and purples, creating a sense of depth.
