Green Landscape Painting Van Gogh Slender stems and unopened buds

Slender stems and unopened buds rise among the tall grasses

It comes alive above a sofa in a living room

tenderness and the fullness of early summer

Every dreamy wash of colour invites a smile

the desert floor melts into a soft violet haze

Green Landscape Painting Van Gogh Slender stems and unopened budsRendered in soft watercolour, this woodland scene follows a stony stream bed curving between mossy banks and slender trees. Feathery green foliage rises overhead, dissolving into a pale, misty light that washes through the canopy. Loose washes of emerald, sage and grey suggest dew damp rocks and tangled undergrowth, while the pale path of water leads gently into the depths of the forest. The painterly haze gives the whole scene a dreamlike stillness,
