A sandy dune sweeps diagonally across the composition, its surface sculpted with a palette knife and heavy impasto to convey the shifting texture of sun and shadow. A slender tree stands as a graceful vertical against the warm tones of the sand and the bright blue of a cloud-filled sky, its foliage rendered in quick dabs of rich green. This is a masterful impressionist work, full of air and light; the artist's energetic technique captures not just a place, but the vibrant, immediate sensation of a moment outdoors.
