Landscape2

📝 Description 

This painting shows a cozy and colorful view of a group of old houses in a quiet street. The buildings are made of bricks and concrete, with faded yellow, brown, and red walls that show their age and character. The paint is peeling in places, and the shutters and windows are slightly worn, giving the scene a nostalgic charm.

A large blue tarp is stretched across the front of the buildings, possibly used as a makeshift roof or shade. There’s even a small yellow object — maybe a cloth — resting on it, adding a bright pop of color. Wires hang across the buildings, showing the simple, practical side of everyday life. The clear blue-green sky adds a calm, peaceful feeling to the whole scene.

Even though the buildings are old, the scene feels alive, warm, and full of stories.
