A vast, muted landscape under a gradient sky, transitioning from blue to orange at the horizon
Detailed Description
An expansive landscape is depicted under a gradient sky. The upper two-thirds of the image are dominated by the sky, which transitions smoothly from a pale, cool blue-gray at the very top to a warm, soft orange-pink as it approaches the horizon line. The horizon is positioned approximately one-third of the way up from the bottom edge of the image. Immediately below the orange sky, a thin, dark blue-gray band stretches horizontally, possibly a distant body of water or a very low-lying landmass. Below this, a dark, undulating silhouette of what appears to be a distant treeline or rolling hills extends across the entire width of the image, rendered in deep grays and muted greens. The foreground, occupying the bottom third of the image, is a flat, open field depicted in muted yellow-green and light brown tones, with subtle horizontal brushstrokes suggesting texture. There are no distinct features or figures in the foreground.
