May in Azumino　 8 P(45.5 x 33.3 cm) 　by Hisanobu Matsushita

This oil painting captures a late spring/early summer scene.

The painting shows a lush green plain with majestic white mountains rising in the background.

The composition of the painting is open, with the wide road, plains, and mountain ranges all coming together to represent the rich natural environment unique to this region. The road in the foreground winds as if to invite the viewer into the painting.

The artist's brushwork, painted in colors that evoke the freshness of nature and the warmth of bright sunlight, beautifully expresses the beauty of Azumino in May.
