Description: This painting illustrates a view from someone's backyard. A brightly colored Rhododendron Bush fills the bottom half of the painting. The bush is painted with thick, short brush strokes in a variety of bright colors, from purple and pink to dark green and black. Behind the rhododendron bush are the tops of two trees and the roof of a neighboring house. The trees and sky are painted in the same style as the bush, whereas the house is painted with longer, more deliberate strokes. The vivacity of the color scheme creates the mood of a pleasant spring or summer day.
