Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts an orchard scene, dominated by trees and a field of green grass. In the upper right, a large tree with thick, dark brown, gnarled branches extends across the canvas, its sparse foliage rendered in light green and yellow brushstrokes. To its left, another tree with lighter, more delicate branches and white blossoms stands in the mid-ground. Further back, additional trees or bushes with varying shades of green and blue are visible, suggesting depth. The sky above is a pale, light blue or grey, with hints of green and yellow. The foreground and mid-ground are covered in a dense field of green grass, depicted with distinct, short, vertical brushstrokes in various shades of green, yellow, and some blue. Small white and orange-red flowers are scattered throughout the grass, adding small points of color. The landscape features visible brushwork and texture.
