Olive Grove Beja Portugal

olive grove, castle at Beja in the Alentejo, Portugal

An impressionist landscape, this is one of a pair of paintings of the olive grove on the grounds of the castle in Beja, Portugal. In this painting, the trees are painted as hundreds of individual leaves, rather than the usual way of treating the whole leaf-mass as one volume with light and shadow. The other painting of this pair is painted differently.
